PulseAudio 14.0 release notes

Notes for end users

Significant routing changes to default sinks/sources

Changing the default sink moves streams from the old default sink to the new

Previously, when the default sink changed, new streams were routed to the new default sink, but existing streams stayed on the old sink. Now streams are moved from the old default sink to the new one as well. This doesn't apply to streams that have been manually moved, so per-stream routing is retained.

Moving a stream to the default sink removes the "manually routed" status of the stream

When a stream is playing to a non-default sink and the user moves it to the current default sink, that is now interpreted as a request to remove the "manually routed" status from the stream, so from that point on the stream will automatically move when the default sink changes. Previously it was a problem that if an application was once moved manually, the choice was remembered permanently and there was no good way to clear the manual routing choice.

If a sink changes status to available, streams that prefer that sink move there automatically

Let's assume a situation where a stream has been moved manually to a sink, and then the sink is removed or changes status to unavailable (this can happen for example when headphones are unplugged). Let's also assume that some other sink is the default sink. The stream is now automatically moved to the default sink in this situation, and when the unavailable sink becomes available again, the stream moves back to that.

The same changes have been applied to the source stream routing

A similar logic is applied to source streams. Changing the default source will move streams from the old to the new default source, manually moving a stream to the default source will remove the "manually routed" status and streams will be moved to the preferred source if it becomes available.

Workaround for GNOME Sound Settings' stream routing behaviour

When changing the output device in GNOME Sound Settings, it tries to improve the user experience by moving existing streams to the selected device. It also changes the routing database so that also applications that aren't currently running get routed to the new device, so all applications behave consistently. To PulseAudio this looks like all applications have been manually moved by the user, which causes problems when the default device changes, because manually moved streams don't follow default sink changes.

Despite those problems, it made sense for GNOME Sound Settings to do this, because the alternative was considered worse: streams didn't move when changing the default device. Now that PulseAudio handles the automatic stream moving, there's no more justification for doing manual stream moving and stream database modifications in GNOME Sound Settings. We can't remove the functionality from GNOME Sound Settings when updating to the new PulseAudio version, but we wanted to solve this anyway without waiting for a new GNOME version, so we ended up adding some special code that ignores the stream routing changes when the changes come from GNOME Sound Settings.

module-rescue-streams is deprecated, functionality moved to the core

module-rescue-stream doesn't do anything any more, and is deprecated. When a device is removed, the module used to move streams on that device to some other device, but that is now handled by the core, so the module has nothing to do. If you have custom configuration that loads module-rescue-streams, you should remove the module from the configuration. Having it in the configuration doesn't do harm, but there will be warnings in the PulseAudio log.

New rescue-streams option in daemon.conf

After moving the rescue functionality to the core, stream rescuing could no longer be disabled. Therefore a new boolean option rescue-streams was added to daemon.conf which is true by default. Set it to false to disable stream rescuing.

Automatic switching to HDMI is now disabled by default

PulseAudio 13.0 started to switch output to HDMI automatically when module-switch-on-connect was loaded (upstream PulseAudio doesn't load it by default, but some distributions do). This change was not intentional, and caused very annoying behaviour in cases where waking up the monitor from sleep appears as a plug-in event in ALSA. Now module-switch-on-connect has a configurable blacklist, which by default prevents switching to HDMI devices. The blacklist is configured with a module argument, named "blacklist", which takes a regular expression that is matched against sink and source names. The default blacklist regular expression is "hdmi". To disable all blacklisting, you can pass "" (empty string) as the module argument value.

Better support for some USB gaming headsets

Custom configuration was enabled for a few headset models:

• HyperX Cloud Orbit S
• LucidSound LS31
• Razer Kraken Tournament Edition
• SteelSeries Arctis 5 (2019 edition)
• SteelSeries Arctis Pro (2019 edition)

PulseAudio now creates separate stereo and mono (voice) sinks for these headsets.

Flat volumes are now disabled by default

Flat volumes have always been a controversial feature in PulseAudio. With flat volumes the stream volumes control also the sink volume. In the simple case of only one stream, the stream and the sink volume are always the same. In case of multiple streams, the sink volume is set to the maximum of the stream volumes. The purpose of this is to simplify the volume control of an application: the full volume range is always available via the application volume slider, so there's no need to think about the sink volume. In practice, however, this has caused more harm than good (the worst problem is that some applications automatically set their stream volume to 100%, causing the audio to be played at the maximum volume that the hardware can produce), and most large distributions have patched PulseAudio to disable flat volumes by default. Now that patching won't be needed any more.

Flat volumes can be enabled by setting "flat-volumes = yes" in ~/.config/pulse/daemon.conf.

The RAOP sink can be configured to automatically reconnect on connection failures

When a RAOP sink is created by manually loading module-raop-sink (rather than automatically by module-raop-discover), it's now possible to keep the RAOP sink present even if the connection to the remote device is lost. This is done by setting the "autoreconnect=true" module argument.

The RAOP sink acts as a "null sink" (discarding audio played to it) during the time the connection is down.

Separate sink_channels and source_channels for module-jackdbus-detect

Previously module-jackdbus-detect had only a single channels argument, which was used for configuring how many channels the JACK sink and source would have. New sink_channels and source_channels arguments have been added that allows configuring different channel count for output and input.

Improved support for ALSA UCM

PulseAudio now supports hardware volume when using ALSA UCM. Hardware mute is supported with the PlaybackMasterElem and CaptureMasterElem options but not yet with PlaybackSwitch or CaptureSwitch.

It's now possible to use multiple sound cards with the same name simultaneously with UCM. An example of this situation is having multiple identical USB sound cards plugged in. This requires alsa-lib version 1.2.1 or higher.

There are many other improvements and fixes too.

Support for ALSA mixer controls with non-zero index

On some hardware there can be multiple ALSA mixer controls with the same name, in which case they're distinguished by their index. PulseAudio has so far always used only the control with index 0, now it's possible to write configuration for hardware that requires using non-zero indexes. Wherever a mixer control name could be used before, it's now possible to append the index to the name using a comma as the separator. For example: Headphone,1.

It's now possible to set intended roles for devices in the ALSA profile configuration

There's a new intended-roles option in the [Mapping] section of the profile-set configuration files. The new option can be used to set the device.intended-roles property for the sink or source that the mapping corresponds to. Currently we use this to tag the voice sink of gaming headsets.

Ports now have a type associated with them

The port type tells what kind of device it corresponds to (speakers, headphones, microphone etc.). The type is automatically set for bluetooth and ALSA UCM devices, for non-UCM ALSA devices it's configured with the type option in the [General] section of the path configuration files. pactl list cards shows the type in the port list.

Mappings have a new "description-key" option in the ALSA profile configuration

There's a new description-key option in the [Mapping] section of the profile-set configuration files. Usually the mapping description is looked up using the mapping name as the key, but the description-key option can be used to set some other key. This is currently used in the USB gaming headset configuration, which defines separate mono and stereo mappings for chat audio (some headsets support stereo and some support mono audio). Those mappings have different names, but they should use the same description, which is why the description-key option was added.

New xauthority argument for X11 modules

The X11 modules (module-x11-bell, module-x11-cork-request, module-x11-publish and module-x11-xsmp) now accept the "xauthority" module argument. It's used by the start-pulseaudio-x11 to pass the value of the XAUTHORITY environment variable to the PulseAudio daemon so that the daemon can set the same environment variable in its own environment. This is required in some systems to make it possible for the X11 modules to connect to the X11 server.

module-null-sink's compressed format support can now be configured at run-time

In the previous release it became possible to configure module-null-sink to accept compressed formats. That had to be done with module arguments when loading the module, now the configuration can be done at any time using "pactl set-sink-formats" or pavucontrol (pavucontrol 4.0 has a bug that prevents this from working, though, but the next pavucontrol version will have that bug fixed).

The enable-lfe-remixing option in daemon.conf was split into remixing-produce-lfe and remixing-consume-lfe

Splitting the option into two allows to separately control the use of the lfe channel in upmixing and downmixing. The old enable-lfe-remixing option is deprecated and should be replaced. If the old option is encountered, both new options will be set to the value of enable-lfe-remixing.

New channel_map argument for module-raop-sink

The channel_map module argument allows setting a different channel map for the RAOP sink than the default map that is configured in deamon.conf.

Notes for application developers

pa_mainloop_prepare interprets the timeout argument as microseconds again

PulseAudio 13.0 accidentally changed the pa_mainloop_prepare timeout argument interpretation from microseconds to milliseconds. That change is now reverted - we apologize for this breaking API change. We hope reverting the change will cause less harm than keeping the code from 13.0.

New availability_group and type fields in the port info structs

The pa_sink_port_info, pa_source_port_info and pa_card_port_info structs have two new fields: availability_group (string) and type (enum). These were added in order to provide a better API for the "What did you plug in?" dialog that at least GNOME shows when a device is plugged in to a connector that supports headphones, headsets and microphones but doesn't provide information about which one was plugged in. The availability group is used to mark ports that share jack detection with each other. The type field can be more generally useful if applications want to know the type of a device.

New macros: PA_LIKELY(), PA_UNLIKELY(), PA_CLAMP() and PA_CLAMP_UNLIKELY()

The "likely" macro provides a hint for the compiler that the condition is usually true, similarly "unlikely" is a hint that the condition is usually false. The clamping macros change a value to the given range if it's originally outside the range. The reason these were added to the public API was that we already had the PA_CLAMP_VOLUME() macro in the API, but it couldn't actually be used, because it needed the PA_CLAMP_UNLIKELY() macro that wasn't available to applications before.

Notes for packagers

New GStreamer-based RTP implementation

module-rtp-send and module-rtp-recv can now use GStreamer to implement the RTP protocol. The GStreamer backend is disabled by default, and should be considered experimental for this release, and testing is welcome (use --enable-gstreamer with Autotools or -Dgstreamer=enabled with Meson).

The purpose of using GStreamer is to make it easier to add more advanced RTP features in the future such as RTCP, non-PCM audio, and potentially synchronized playback.

This adds new dependencies: gstreamer-1.0, gstreamer-app-1.0 and gstreamer-rtp-1.0. GStreamer plugins from the gst-plugins-good package are required as well for the udpsrc and rtpbin elements (the plugins are a run-time dependency, there is no compile-time check for these).

qpaeq switched from Python 2 to Python 3

The Python interpreter that qpaeq invokes was switched from python to python3. Also, qpaeq doesn't import the SIP module any more (it wasn't used anyway), so if your qpaeq package currently has an explicit dependency to python-sip, that can be dropped. (There's still an implicit dependency to SIP via PyQt, though.)

Compile-time option to forget pre-14.0 stream routing

A new --enable-stream-restore-clear-old-devices (Autotools) or -Dstream-restore-clear-old-devices=true (Meson) build option was introduced which instructs pulesaudio to discard pre-14.0 stream routing information. This was necessary because, prior to 14.0, GNOME sound settings used to manipulate the stream-restore database when the default device was switched. The resulting old settings can conflict with the current changed routing logic and can lead to inconsistent stream routing. See https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/issues/832. The option is disabled by default because it will cause data loss but should be enabled in distributions using GNOME.

The install path of the ALSA configuration files is now configurable

Previously the ALSA configuration files were always installed to $datadir/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer, now the location can be customized using the -Dalsadatadir Meson option or the --with-alsa-data-dir Autotools configure option. At least Arch uses this to install the files to /usr/share/alsa-card-profile to make it easier to share the files between PulseAudio and PipeWire.

GNU gettext minimum version requirement bumped from 0.19.3 to 0.19.8

A newer gettext version was needed for distcheck to work with a checked-in pulseaudio.pot.

Heads-up: dropping autotools build system

Given that the meson build system runs much faster and is now is more-or-less on par with the autotools build, we will be dropping support for the autotools build in 15.0. Please let us know if you have a dependency on autotools for any reason.

One difference from Autotools is that the --disable-neon-opt option for disabling NEON optimizations doesn't have a counterpart in Meson due to how Meson's NEON detection works. NEON will always be enabled if the compiler supports it, but even if the target machine doesn't support NEON, that shouldn't be a problem, because PulseAudio disables NEON at run-time if the processor doesn't support it.

Update 2020-11-28: With Meson the database files in ~/.config/pulse/ have different names than with Autotools, which means that when switching to Meson, user settings will be forgotten. This needs to be fixed, the bug is tracked here: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/pulseaudio/pulseaudio/-/issues/1062

Heads-up: dropping EsounD support is considered, tell us if you still need it

EsounD has been obsolete for over 10 years, but PulseAudio still supports EsounD applications by implementing the EsounD protocol. We plan to drop all EsounD functionality in 15.0, because probably nobody needs it. Please tell us if you still use an application that requires EsounD support.

Heads-up: dropping GConf support

PulseAudio 12.0 introduced module-gsettings, which superseded the old module-gconf, but module-gconf was kept around for making transitioning easier. Both modules are used (or at least supposed to be used) only by paprefs to save its settings, which requires module-gconf prior to version 1.0 and module-gsettings from version 1.0 onwards. The plan is to remove module-gconf in PulseAudio 15.0.
