Doing a pw_thread_loop_wait() without checking conditions is invalid.
The thread loop could be signalled for other reasons and in this case
the wait needs to continue.
PipeWire added such additional signaling in
commit 33be898130f0 ("thread-loop: signal when started").
This meant that for_each_sink would return before the callbacks have
fired and session_has_sink() would incorrectly return "false", failing
the initialization of ao_pipewire.

Now that Debian 12 is release bump the minium required version to what
is provided in Ubuntu Jammy (22.04).
The same as has been done for the wayland dependencies.

Instead of brute forcing the name until it is set, without any error
checking and expecting it would start to work, fallback to client name
if initial request fails.
Fixes player going into infinite loop with very long title names. The
API rejects unreasonably long names, which make sense.
As for alleged "weird race condition in the IAudioSessionControl itself"
I cannot comment. It works on my end and even if it fails, it is not a
critical error or even something that we should care about... and
obviously not hang the whole player for that.
Fixes: #11803
By making the data thread realtime it is able to serve requests faster
and more reliable reducing crackling in certain situations.
As the mpv callbacks that are running on the data thread are all
non-blocking and very short this should be safe.
The same mechanism is also used by pw-cat and the alsa plugin shipped by
pipewire.
c784820454 introduced a bool option type
as a replacement for the flag type, but didn't actually transition and
remove the flag type because it would have been too much mundane work.
Older versions of pipewire segfault when calling spa_hook_remove() on
hooks that are zeroed.
Add a backfill for the logic added by pipewire 0.3.57.
Being able to remove zeroed hooks makes errorhandling much easier.
See #11309
PipeWire supports a global volume control for streams that works on top
of the per-channel volumes.
As mpv only supports a single volume with ao-volume it can make sense to
use the single global volume from PipeWire for it.
This allows the user to also specify per-channel volumes and not have
mpv trample over them.
This mode is not the default as pulseaudio does not support this
global volume control and all tooling controlling PipeWire via
pipewire-pulse (like pavucontrol) will not be able to see this channel.
As ao_pipewire is probed first if a user does not have PipeWire running
they will see a scary warning message even if another AO afterwards is
probed fine.
Tone down the error message so as not to confuse users.
ao-volume is represented in the code with a `struct ao_control_vol_t`
which contains volumes for two channels, left and right.
However the code implementing this property in command.c never treats
these values individually. They are always averaged together.
On the other hand the code in the AOs handling these values also has to
handle the case where *not* exactly two channels are handled.
So let's remove the `struct ao_control_vol_t` and replace it with a
simple float.
This makes the semantics clear to AO authors and allows us to drop some code from the AOs and command.c.
In debug mode the macro causes an assertion failure.
In release mode it works differently and tells the compiler that it can
assume the codepath will never execute. For this reason I was conversative
in replacing it, e.g. in mpv-internal code that exhausts all valid values
of an enum or when a condition is clear from directly preceding code.

Seeking on MacOS appears to be lagged when users connect
to wireless audio output (airpods for example).
This commit attempts to fixmpv-player/mpv#10270
[observation]
1. When using other media player (VLC to be exact) simultaneously,
the lagging on seek disappear. We could guess that the AudioDevice
is on some sort of "warm-up" state.
See mpv-player/mpv#9243 for detailed description.
2. `AudioOutputUnitStart` takes significant longer time after each seek
or pause/play when using wireless output devices compares to wired devices.
[rationale]
After investigate codes in ao_coreaudio.c, it appears that the the `stop`
function was used as `ao_driver.reset` function. Therefore every seek
and pause would call `AudioOutputUnitStop`.
It turns out that `ao_driver.reset` function is used in `ao_reset`.
And `ao_reset` function is used to clean up the state of current `ao`
so I think `AudioUnitReset` is more proper than `AudioOutputUnitStop`
under this semantics.
Since ao_coreaudio use pull base mechanism, audio playback behaviors
upon pause/seek could be handled by callback function
(streaming silence when paused) so there is no need to stop AudioUnit when resetting.
Therefore using `AudioUnitReset` as `ao_driver.reset` looks proper.
Additionally, after using proper reset, the AudioUnit that represents
hardware I/O devices doesn't need to be restart everytime seek/pause actions happen.
Restarting wireless devices simply takes longer in MacOS which is
the root cause of lagging observed by users when they seek or pause/play media.
[method]
Use `AudioUnitReset` for ao_driver.reset.
When a pull AO reaches reaches EOF then ao_read_data() will set
p->playing = false.
Because the ao is marked as not playing ao_set_pause(true) will not
reset the AO.
This keeps the output stream unintentionally open.
Fixes#9835
This has been a long standing annoyance - ffmpeg is removing
sizeof(AVPacket) from the API which means you cannot stack-allocate
AVPacket anymore. However, that is something we take advantage of
because we use short-lived AVPackets to bridge from native mpv packets
in our main decoding paths.
We don't think that switching these to `av_packet_alloc` is desirable,
given the cost of heap allocation, so this change takes a different
approach - allocating a single packet in the relevant context and
reusing it over and over.
That's fairly straight-forward, with the main caveat being that
re-initialising the packet is unintuitive. There is no function that
does exactly what we need (what `av_init_packet` did). The closest is
`av_packet_unref`, which additionally frees buffers and side-data.
However, we don't copy those things - we just assign them in from our
own packet, so we have to explicitly clear the pointers before calling
`av_packet_unref`. But at least we can make a wrapper function for
that.
The weirdest part of the change is the handling of the vtt subtitle
conversion. This requires two packets, so I had to pre-allocate two in
the context struct. That sounds excessive, but if allocating the
primary packet is too expensive, then allocating the secondary one for
vtt subtitles must also be too expensive.
This change is not conditional as heap allocated AVPackets were
available for years and years before the deprecation.
This allows us to more easily see the datapath from mpv to pipewire.
We know how often the callbacks are triggered, how big the buffers are
and how much data mpv provides to pipewire.
