- Add support for renegotiation. With this change, producer and
consumer can incrementally renegotiate a format until it is
fixed. This will be used to do complex negotiation of DRM
modifiers.
- Add a trigger-done event in the stream. This can be used to
know when processing of the complete graph has finished after
issuing a trigger_process() and it can be used to throttle
processing.
- Add a RequestProcess node event and command. This can be used
by non-driver nodes to suggest to a driver to start
processing. One case is where a compositor can emit this

memory when called multiple times during the process()
callback. This makes things work on a new Hydrogen.
- Add an option to disable showing the monitor ports.
- JACK ports are now sorted per node/client and port_id. This
should more closely match JACK behaviour and avoid random
port order.
* v4l2:
- Fix v4l2 LD_PRELOAD script.
- Make sure we destroy the proxy when the global is destroyed.
* ALSA:
- _prepare should exit the draining state.

in examples but it is past the example stage and it
interferes with the build options for the real examples.
* Bluetooth
- The hardware quirk database is now loaded by the plugin
instead of the session manager. This makes it also work with
wireplumber.

* PipeWire:
- Drain was fixed in pw-stream. In some cases it would not
clear the drain state correctly. Fixes the issue where
speaker-test would only play one channel.
- Loopback connections to a driver will now activate the
driver. This fixes an issue where MIDI connections between
devices or some applications (puredata) would not get any
MIDI messages. (#1559)x.
- The audiomixer can now mix more formats. Together with the
passthrough improvements this can be used to avoid
conversions to/from the DSP format in some cases.
- Make sure we idle drivers when removing a node from it in all
cases. JACK clients could keep a driver node busy.
- Add new methods to accumulate object info. The old one was
difficult to use when applications need to accumulate
multiple changes.
- A new interface to load modules has been added. Plugins can
use this to ask the host (PipeWire) to load spa plugins.
- Increase param buffer size to handle larger params. Nodes
with a large number of channels would sometimes not have
properties. (#1574)

using Apple extensions. aptX-LL and FastStream codec support
was added.
- Internal latency of ALSA devices can now be configured.
- A fast convolver was added to the filter-chain to implement
virtual surround sinks or reverbs.
* PipeWire
- Add support for streams that are driver nodes for the graph.
This was already possible for source streams but it is now
also possible for playback streams. This can be used to let
a producer v-sync to the consumer monitor in a headless
compositor setup. (#1484)
- State files are now stored in XDG_STATE_HOME instead of
XDG_CONFIG_HOME. They will still be loaded from the config
home if they are not in the new state home, to ease
migration.
- Set a driver on inactive nodes to make transport work in
xjadeo. (#1491)
- Fix parsing of filter-chain controls.
- A new FFT based convolver was added to module-filter-chain.

- Improve DMA-BUF negotiation. Add a flag to avoid fixation
of a property so that producers can negotiate more
efficiently. This is used to negotiate DMA-BUF modifiers,
which should make more efficient use of the GPU. (#1084)
- Add support for multipe sample rates. The graph can switch
when IDLE to one of the supported rates. Add an option to
lock the rate as well. This is not enabled by default yet
because of driver bugs that need to be worked around first.

- Feedback links are skipped when recalculating latency to
avoid loops.
- The dummy driver and null-sink now stop the timerfd when
following another driver instead of generating useless
graph wakeups.
- rt.limit was increased to 2 seconds. Some applications got
killed because they run lengthy code in the Real-Time

- Update to version 0.3.13:
* PipeWire improvements
+ Add pw-reserve tool to reserve or monitor a device on DBus.
+ Install spa-resample, a tool to resample a file.
+ Install spa-acp-tool, a tool to inspect the card profile.
+ Various fixes and improvements
+ Fix a bug in pw-stream where a capture stream could run out
of buffers and become silent.
+ Rework the processing loops in the adapter and stream. There
is now less latency in PulseAudio and ALSA layers.
* Session manager improvements
+ Improve the device reservation code. We now try to acquire
the device using the dbus device reservation API before we
probe the device. This avoids conflicts with a running
PulseAudio where devices would disappear (because they were
locked by the other process).
+ Don't fail on invalid input from the config files.
+ Audio devices now have the same name as what PulseAudio
would assign.
* Device support
+ v4l2: try to use the format before enumerating the size and
framerate. Some drivers don't check the format and might now
work better.
+ v4l2: Fall back to MMAP when EXPBUF fails. Fix MMAP access,
just export the fd and the mapoffset. This should make more
devices work.
+ Fix crash in ALSA Card Profile (ACP) code.
+ ACP: fix selection of default profile. Prefer any possibly
available profile over 'Off'. This makes some card at least
start with something. (forwarded request 841457 from alarrosa)
