# PipeWire 0.3.52 (2022-06-09)

This is a bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible with previous
0.3.x releases.

## Highlights
  - Add 44.1KHz to allowed samplerates. The server can now switch by
    default between 48KHz and 44.1KHz.
  - Streams now allocate less resources.
  - Fix some bugs that could make the server crash.
  - Bluetooth now supports the LC3plus vendor codec.
  - Many bugfixes and improvements.


## PipeWire
  - Add 44.1KHz to allowed samplerates.
  - Avoid setting the locale.
  - Avoid use-after-free when destroying a node from spa-node-factory.
  - Avoid using reallocarray when not available.
  - Set port alias is not otherwise set.

## Modules
  - Improve filter-chain parsing and error reporting. Handle empty
    nodes. (#1950)
  - Handle destroy of globals and factory in most modules. (#565)
  - Add refcounts to client and resources to handle destroy of the
    protocol. (#565)
  - Handle global node.name in filter-chain and loopback again, use
    it to construct unique stream names.
  - Avoid a wrapped pw-node in the adapter. This reduces resources
    allocated for streams.
  - Fix a crash when module-x11-bell was unloaded. (#2392)
  - Add a new module-pipe-tunnel that can write/read data from a
    UNIX pipe.

## Tools
  - Fix DSD playback again in pw-cat.
  - Add -n option to pw-loopback to set node names.
  - Add -P option to pw-cat to pass properties to the stream.
  - Support stdin/stdout in pw-cat. (#2387)
  - pw-dump now also dumps object removal when monitoring. (#2426)

## SPA
  - Avoid duplicate param results in pw-dump for ports.
  - Avoid endless loops in audioconvert for badly behaving client.
    (#2359)
  - Scale max-error in alsa based on quantum and avoid logging a warning
    when starting.
  - Improve debug of failed format conversion. (#2383)
  - Handle offset in the audio dsp mixer inputs and clamp to the max
    buffer size.
  - Add option to disable locale support for JSON number conversion.
  - Add support for Astro A20 Gen2.
  - Fix some of the test sources, the flags were not set correctly.
  - Add camera location as property in libcamera and let the session manager
    Generate a localized description.
  - Fix some crashes due to wrong vargar types in v4l2 controls. (#2400)
  - Improve ALSA resync behaviour. (#2257)
  - Add support for Komplete Audio 6 MK2.
  - Improve loop cancel while iterating.
  - Try not to mix surround channels and AUX channels. Make card with many
    ports look better when not using the Pro Audio profile.
  - Vulkan filters were added.

## Bluetooth
  - Add LC3plus vendor codec.
  - Handle unsupported indicators better.
  - Ensure multiple devices on an adapter use different codecs because one
    endpoint can only be used by one device at a time.
  - Fix bitpool control as a follower.
  - Handle bluetooth errors better.
  - Speed up bluetooth connection by only waiting for the profiles
    supported by the adapter.
  - The dummy AVRCP player is disabled by default because it seems to break
    more devices than it fixes.

## pulse-server
  - Add initial stream latency property so that devices can be started
    with a resonably accurate latency.
  - Fix ringbuffer underrun case. (#2366)
  - module-native-protocol-tcp now has a auth-anonymous option to give
    full access to the clients.
  - Report a node as being moved when it is still moving. This improves
    compatibility with pasystray.
  - Avoid overallocating message memory.
  - Don't export NETWORK nodes in zeroconf. (#2384)
  - Fix stride for TrueHD and DTSHD passthrough. (#2284)
  - Make sure we don't send too small audio fragments. Fixes capture
    from multiple tabs in Chrome. (#2418)
  - Rework module handling some more.
  - Use the new native module-pipe-tunnel for pipe-sink and pipe-source.
  - Implement the STREAM_MOVED message when a stream got moved. (#2407)
  - Fix a potential segfault when stopping the server and a TCP module
    as still loaded.

## ALSA
  - Add support for updating sw_params at runtime, mostly the min-avail
    param.
  - Capture and playback nodes are now assumed to use a different clock and
    will activate the adaptive resampler when linked. This assumption is
    removed in Pro Audio mode. This provide a better experience out of the
    box with most devices.

## JACK
  - Fix setting properties with PIPEWIRE_PROPS again.
  - Don't use 64 bits atomic operations for sync_timeout. (#1867)
  - Cleanup in error cases was improved, avoiding some crashes. (#2394)

## GStreamer
  - Fix pipewiresink in mode=provide. (#1980)
  - Share memory into a new buffer in pipewiresrc to avoid buffer corruption.
  - Fixes to the source and fd use.
  - It is now possible to set client properties as well. (#1573)
