- 48,000 frames per second operation,
- 48k lossless stereo, 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound
- Multichannel and multi rate operation on ALSA, PipeWire, PulseAudio, FreeBSD, stdout and unix pipe output backends.
Automatic, flexible and controllable output format (rate, sample format and channel count) selection.
Full FFmpeg integration to support transcoding, resampling, and new audio formats.
Better operation on lower powered devices down to e.g. Raspberry Pi B.
Reduced Docker image sizes with a slimmed-down FFmpeg library.
Enhanced timestamp handling for better synchronization.
Improved the sync error calculation.
A new "vernier" resampling and interpolation method for low-power CPUs.
Bug fixes and minor enhancements.
Note -- there are many breaking changes from previous versions of Shairport Sync!
Add three parameters to the backend play() function call -- (1) a flag indicating whether the samples are timed or not. If timed, (2) the timestamp and (3) the local time at which the first frame should be heard.
Update missing pipewire library message.
Makefile.am fix.
Update the SHM version and fix the SHM name so that it works with FreeBSD.
Remove redundant (?) AC_HEADER_STDC check.
Fix compilation and installation under FreeBSD -- changes to allow building in a separate directory broke the FreeBSD build process.
Add AC_CHECK_LIB for gcrypt in case PKG_CHECK_MODULES fails to find it.
Find gcrypt using pkg-config
Add code to detect when the RTSP channel goes idle for a period, and use it to reset clocks and timings, etc. so that SPS resumes correctly where the source has gone to sleep while playing a realtime stream and has subsequently woken up.
Don't exit if a UDP Clock Control packet is empty. Also check minimum packet size.
Remove some very experimental code which may cause memory and port leaks.
Strip file path from the filename used in debug messages, information messages, warnings and fatal error messages.
BB fix to Makefile.am -- overwriting the DBUS stuff with MPRIS definitions, duh.
Fix some problems building on FreeBSD and tidy up the use of the "sed" editor.
Fix some problems building on picore.
Fix an uninitialised variable
start using the "nqptp" SMI
Improve support for big-endian CPUs by adding support for explicit -endian formats, i.e. S16_LE, S16_BE, S24_LE, S24_BE, S32_LE, S32_BE.
For the "disable_standby_mode" setting, change "while_active" to "auto".
Perl script is removed in favour of C. Stale documentation and initfiles
are removed for now also.
C interface works, but still needs work (for example, mDNS is missing) -
see TODO.
