Because we use the non-callback API, we can call our thread init callback
ourselves from ::process_thread(). In addition, the init_callback in JACK is
used by every thread JACK creates, including the messagebuffer thread, and this
confuses things from an Ardour POV where the callback was intended just for
realtime threads.
This is mostly a simple lexical search+replace but the absence of operator< for
std::weak_ptr<T> leads to some complications, particularly with Evoral::Sequence
and ExportPortChannel.
It can happen that the main AlsaAudioBackend::_device_reservation
is still busy while I/O devices are set. In this case a
dedicated AlsaDeviceReservation needs to be used which can fail
silently.
A common example is disconnecting a USB device while it is in
use. The Halted signal can show the session dialog, which calls
set_input_device_name before the device reservation of the
unplugged device terminated.
ALSA backend modified the internal state when different devices
were used, re-assigning one (usually input-device) to "None"
when it's resampled. This lead to EngineHints not matching the
EngineState, and autostart was disabled, and a dialog
"Engine I/O device has changed since you last opened this session."
These might be the values that PA would have chosen anyway, but make it
clear that Ardour is in control ... and will let the user control
"everything" with the buffer size.
This will also change the internal backend name, so it will miss the
previous 'config' setting '<State backend="Pulseaudio" ...'` and the
session file's '<EngineHints backend="Pulseaudio" ...'. But that is no
big deal after upgrading. Especially after the backend has been broken
for some users for a while.
It adds some new strings to translate. These strings might be so rare
and technical that it is a bit pointless to translate them. But let's
stay consistent...
pa_threaded_mainloop_wait might wake up for several reasons. And there
is no point (but possibly harm) in moving on before we have verified
that PA actually is ready to receive our write without overflow.
ae3c8b19c6 and 03a17df68c reworked the transitions to and from
freewheeling. Some of it seems to have been experiments that tried
several things out, and generally it seems to have worked. It left some
commented out code. Clean that up.
The draining was introduced in ae3c8b19c6, apparently as an experiment
doing several changes. But the drain is outside the loop where
freewheeling changes, so the fix must have worked for other reasons.
There doesn't seem to be any benefit from draining at that point. The
stream is already empty. If not, we could have flushed it.
Draining right after uncorking will conceptualy create an intentional
underflow, even though it isn't reported as such. PipeWire seems to
(something like 6-12 months ago) have regressed in handling of that grey
area, causing that *underflow* to cause a request for too much data, and
thus causing constant *overflows* and unusable playback.
This change makes PulseAudio playback work for me again.
Querying available buffersizes and sample-rates requires access
to the device. Almost all ALSA devices are limited to
a single user-space application so we unconditionally try
to request access to the device.
jack1 (which is Linux only) does not have a jack_client_stop_thread
API, and expects the application to call pthread_join().
This fixes an issue when the application is compiled using jack2 headers
but the application later runs using jack1's library.
PBD::Transmitter is neither thread-safe nor rt-safe. This likely
fixes a crash on macOS when process-threads are started.
Many threads simultaneously enter coreaudio_process_thread() and
log a message calling `PBD::info << .. << endmsg` simultaneously.
In all years of using these assert()s never triggered. Besides
there are valid_port() tests in other strategic locations that
are not periodically hit in realtime context.
