In that situation currenctly, when you play something, it will come out at the last volume set on the device, which will be that very high volume.
This could happen, for example, the morning after a loud party :).
The new code works as follows: If nothing has been played for a period, say a few hours, and the volume is higher than a threshold, new connections that ask
for the current volume setting will be offered the default (low) volume rather than the current (very high) one.
Most players, including the HomePod mini, iOS and iPadOS use this to set their initial volume.
The Mac Music app retains its own setting, and the Mac System Sounds preference sometimes seems to take its setting from the Music app,
but at least you can see the settings they will apply.
Existing connections are unaffected, so this facility should be unobtrusive.
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
