(1) to be multithreaded,
(2) to work on multichannel audio and
(3) to work on 48k and 44.1k audio.
Allow multiple impulse response (IR) files with a new setting: "convolution_ir_files"
When convolution starts, Shairport Sync will look for an IR file with a sample rate
matching the input (44.1k or 48k) and channel count.
If one can't be found, it will look for a single-channel IR file with the same rate.
It will always choose the first match in the file list supplied "convolution_ir_files".
Allow multithreading -- use the "convolution_thread_pool_size" to set the number of threads to use.
Deprecate "convolution" -- use "convolution_enabled" instead.
Deprecate "convolution_max_length" -- use "convolution_max_length_in_seconds" instead.
Deprecate "convolution_ir_file" -- use "convolution_ir_files" instead.
Update corresponding D-Bus methods and properties.
Update the loudness code to work on 48k and well as 44.1k audio and with multichannel audio.
Deprecate "loudness" -- use "loudness_enabled" instead.
Update corresponding D-Bus methods and properties.
Fix a deprecated FFmpeg warning.
Update HiFi-LoFi FFT convolver to latest available.
- 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!
Limit the maximum number of open file handles in Docker images.
Increase the level of optimisation (to -O3) while building the Shairport Sync application itself.
Enabled termination of a disconnected session in AirPlay 2 operation after a timeout, which was disabled by default.
Fixed a bug that prevented Shairport Sync from terminating cleanly when a fatal error that occurred while directly accessing the alsa output device.
Fixed a bug that prevented Shairport Sync from recovering cleanly if a player disconnected without warning. The problem was that the player thread would not respond to cancel request. Fixed by moving a pthreadtestcancel() call to the innermost loop.
Fixed compilation errors on old versions of Mac OS X by, reordering some of the files to be included in shairport.c.
Avoided using TCP_KEEPINTVL and TCP_KEEPCNT if they are not defined (they are not defined in older versions of Mac OS X).
Fixed a race condition with the metadata queues. The problem was that the queues were being initialised by threads launched by the main thread which, having started the threads, proceeded to use the queues. But if the threads were late in starting, the queues might not be initialised by the time the main thread tried to use them. Fixed by initialising the queues in the main thread.
Enable the ALSA backend to access mixers on a devices with a hdmi: prefix.
Update the help text for the ALSA backend to denote HDMI devices using the hdmi: prefix rather than hw:.
Manage thread cancellation state explicitly in audio_ao.c
CAR INSTALL guide: Simplify some of the wording. Change order and allow a few seconds before starting systemd-timesync service.
Update to 4.3.2
**Enhancements**
* A totally new PipeWire backend featuring full synchronisation.
**Bug Fixes**
* Stability improvements for the PulseAudio backend.
* Fix a crash when the Avahi subsystem became disconnected. This is normally a rare occurrence, but Shairport Sync was not dereferencing obsolete data correctly when it happened.
* Set and reset Bonjour flags correctly when it's a Classic Airplay session in AirPlay 2 operation.
* Fix a number of FreeBSD compilation errors and warnings.
* Fix various errors when breaking into an existing session to terminate it. Thanks again to [aaronk6](https://github.com/aaronk6).
* Fix some debug message errors, sigh. Thanks to [Nathan Gray](https://github.com/n8gray).
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
