2016-05-24Disable LFE remixing by defaultAlexander E. Patrakov1-2/+2
The current LFE crossover filter removes low frequencies from the main channels and puts them into the LFE channel with the wrong amplitude. It is not known for sure what is the correct relative amplitude (acoustic measurements are required with real hardware), and changing that might introduce a new bug, "it clips the LFE channel". So just disable the feature by default until a better understanding emerges how it should work. This, essentially, returns the defaults to their state as of PulseAudio 6.0. Some more observations: - Most of available active analog speakers on the market do the necessary crossover filtering already, and HDMI receivers can be configured to do that, too, so a crossover filter in PulseAudio is harmful in these use cases. - The "laptop with a builtin subwoofer" use case requires manual configuration anyway because the default crossover frequency (120 Hz) is wrong for laptop speakers. - Finally, Windows 10 with a built-in USB audio driver does not synthesize the LFE channel given a 5.1 card and a stereo audio stream by default.

2016-04-27core: Support memfd transport; bump protocol versionAhmed S. Darwish2-4/+18
Now that all layers in the stack support memfd blocks, add memfd support for the daemon's global core mempool. Also introduce "enable-memfd=" daemon argument and configuration option. For now, memfd support is an opt-in feature to be activated only when daemon's enable-memfd= is set to yes. Signed-off-by: Ahmed S. Darwish <darwish.07@gmail.com>
2016-04-27client audio: Support memfd transportAhmed S. Darwish1-0/+8
Now that all layers in the stack support memfd blocks, add memfd pools support for client context and audio playback data. Use such memfd pools by default only if the server signals memfd support in its connection negotiations. Also add ability for clients to force-disable memfd transport through the `enable-memfd=' client configuration option. Signed-off-by: Ahmed S. Darwish <darwish.07@gmail.com>
2015-12-14client-conf, daemon-conf: enable .d directoriesTanu Kaskinen2-11/+33
I want to enable client.conf.d, because in OpenEmbedded-core we have a graphical environment called Sato that runs as root. Sato needs to set allow-autospawn-for-root=true in client.conf, but the default configuration in OpenEmbedded-core should not set that option. With this patch, I can create a Sato-specific package that simply installs 50-sato.conf in /etc/pulse/client.conf.d without conflicting with the main client.conf coming from a different package. daemon.conf.d is enabled just because it would be strange to not support it while client.conf.d is supported.

2015-03-30resampler: Allow disabling the LFE filter by setting crossover to 0David Henningsson1-1/+1
When crossover_freq is set to 0, this restores the old behaviour of letting the LFE channel be the average of the source channels, without additional processing. This can be useful e g in case the user already has a hardware crossover. Signed-off-by: David Henningsson <david.henningsson@canonical.com>

2014-12-19Revert "launch: Disable autospawn by default when systemd daemon support is ↵v5.99.2David Henningsson1-1/+1
enabled." This reverts commit 7276faca72e9696d4891daff139aee52509f43bf. Using the new systemd socket activation for PulseAudio will cause PulseAudio to not have any connection with D-Bus, breaking device reservation protocol, module-jackdbus-detect and module-dbus-protocol. Therefore, autospawn is now still enabled by default even if you build with systemd daemon headers.

2014-11-03launch: Disable autospawn by default when systemd daemon support is enabled.Colin Guthrie1-1/+1
When enabled, this method is prefered over pulseaudio's built in systems so we should try our best to ensure that it cannot be spawned outside of the mechanisms desired. Packagers should call 'systemctl --global enable pulseaudio.socket' to enable the socket for all users, or alternatively ship an enabling symlink in /usr/lib/systemd/user/sockets.target.wants/ folder. It may also make sense for distributions to add in a ConditionNNN= line to the socket unit if they have a downstream mechanism for enabling or disabling pulseaudio. If individual users wish to opt out of this vendor (or administrator) decision, they can call 'systemctl --user mask pulseaudio.socket'

2013-12-20log: Add support for the systemd journalpoljar (Damir Jelić)2-7/+9
The journal is a component of systemd, that captures Syslog messages, Kernel log messages, initial RAM disk and early boot messages as well as messages written to STDOUT/STDERR of all services, indexes them and makes this available to the user. It can be used in parallel, or in place of a traditional syslog daemon, such as rsyslog or syslog-ng. The journal offers a couple of improvements over traditional logging facilities (e.g. advanced filtering capabilities). This patch adds support for logging directly to the journal using its native API.
