PipeWire 0.3.77 (2023-08-04)

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

Highlights

  • Fix a bug in ALSA source where the available number of samples was miscaluclated and resulted in xruns in some cases.
  • A new L permission was added to make it possible to force a link between nodes even when the nodes can’t see each other.
  • The VBAN module now supports midi send and receive as well.
  • Many cleanups and small fixes.

    Why do you think these issues have nothing to do with drivers? Apart from confusing controls, all of these can be attributed to hardware and driver quirks.

        All of the following is speculation on my side and just stated as fact for easier reading / writing.

        Because through the years I never had problems with plain Alsa on the same hardware

        Because it did not allow for the functionality that exposed those bugs (as in PulseAudio provided features that should work according to documentation, but didn’t)

        I don’t have problems with pipewire either on that hardware.

        Because these bugs got fixed after PulseAudio exposed them.
