Change all OPT_* macros such that they don't define the entire m_option
initializer, and instead expand only to a part of it, which sets certain
fields. This requires changing almost every option declaration, because
they all use these macros. A declaration now always starts with
{"name", ...
followed by designated initializers only (possibly wrapped in macros).
The OPT_* macros now initialize the .offset and .type fields only,
sometimes also .priv and others.
I think this change makes the option macros less tricky. The old code
had to stuff everything into macro arguments (and attempted to allow
setting arbitrary fields by letting the user pass designated
initializers in the vararg parts). Some of this was made messy due to
C99 and C11 not allowing 0-sized varargs with ',' removal. It's also
possible that this change is pointless, other than cosmetic preferences.
Not too happy about some things. For example, the OPT_CHOICE()
indentation I applied looks a bit ugly.
Much of this change was done with regex search&replace, but some places
required manual editing. In particular, code in "obscure" areas (which I
didn't include in compilation) might be broken now.
In wayland_common.c the author of some option declarations confused the
flags parameter with the default value (though the default value was
also properly set below). I fixed this with this change.
This was all dead code. Commit 995c47da9a (over 3 years ago) removed all
uses of the controls.
It would be nice if AOs could apply a linear gain volume, that only
affects the AO's audio stream for low-latency volume adjust and muting.
AOCONTROL_HAS_SOFT_VOLUME was supposed to signal this, but to use it,
we'd have to thoroughly check whether it really uses the expected
semantics, so there's really nothing useful left in this old code.
All authors have agreed to the relicensing.
The code was pretty much rewritten by Stefano Pigozzi. Since the rewrite
happened incrementally, and seems to include refactored portions of
older code, this relicensing was done on the pre-refactor code do.
The original commit adding this AO (as ao_macosx.c) credits Timothy J.
Wood as original author. He was asked and agreed to LGPL. It's not
entirely sure from which project this code came from, but it's probably
libao. In that project, Stanley Seibert made some changes to it (who as
a major developer of libao was asked just to be sure), and also Ralph
Giles and Ben Hines made two small changes. The latter were not asked,
but none of their code survived anyway.
Long planned. Leads to some sanity.
There still are some rather gross things. Especially g_groups is ugly,
and a hack that can hopefully be removed. (There is a plan for it, but
whether it's implemented depends on how much energy is left.)
And introduce a global option which does this. Or more precisely, this
deprecates the global wasapi and coreaudio options, and adds a new one
that merges their functionality. (Due to the way the sub-option
deprecation mechanism works, this is simpler.)
Setting this here is a race condition. It's called from a CoreAudio
callbacks, and there are no locks. It's a string, so this can be
potentially severe.
It's hard to fix and only CoreAudio supported it, so remove it.
This causes the "audio-out-detected-device" property to return nothing
on all platforms.
ao_coreaudio (using AudioUnit) accounted only for part of the latency -
move the code in ao_coreaudio_exclusive to utils, and use that for the
AudioUnit code.
(There's still the question why CoreAudio and AudioUnit require you to
jump through hoops this much, but apparently that's how it is.)
May help with (supposedly) bad drivers, which can put the device into
some sort of broken state when trying to set a different physical
format. When the previous format is restored, it apparently recovers.
This might make the change-physical-format suboption more robust.
Replace all the check macros with function calls. Give them all the
same case and naming schema.
Drop af_fmt2bits(). Only af_fmt2bps() survives as af_fmt_to_bytes().
Introduce af_fmt_is_pcm(), and use it in situations that used
!AF_FORMAT_IS_SPECIAL. Nobody really knew what a "special" format
was. It simply meant "not PCM".
This may or may not fix some issues with the format switching
code. Actually, it seems somewhat unlikely, but then checking
the stream type isn't incorrect either, and is probably
something the API user should always be doing.
Move all of the channel map retrieval/negotiation code to a separate
file. This will (probably) be helpful when extending
ao_coreaudio_exclusive.c.
Nothing else changes, other than some minor cosmetics and renaming,
and changing some details for decoupling it from the ao_coreaudio.c
internals.
If for example the physical format is set to stereo, the reported
multichannel layout will actually be stereo. It fixes itself only after
the physical format is changed.
ao_coreaudio uses AudioUnit - the OSX software mixer. In theory, it
supports multichannel audio just fine. But in practice, this might be
disabled by default, and the user is supposed to select a multichannel
base format in the "Audio MIDI Setup" utility.
This option attempts to change this setting automatically. Some possible
disadvantages and caveats are listed in the manpage additions. It is off
by default, since changing this might be rather bad behavior for a
normal application.
If for example the audio settings are set to 5.1 output, but the
hardware does 8 channels natively (HDMI), the reported channel
layout will have 2 dummy channels. To avoid falling back to stereo,
we have to write audio in this format to the device.
ca_label_to_mp_speaker_id() checked whether the last entry was >= 0, but
actually this condition was never true, and MP_SPEAKER_ID_UNKNOWN0 is
not negative.
This commit adds notifications for hot plugging of devices. It also extends
the old behaviour of the `audio-out-detected-device` property which is now
backed by the hotplugging code. This allows clients to be notified when the
actual audio output device changes.
Maybe hotplugging should be supported for ao_coreaudio_exclusive too, but it's
device selection code is a bit fragile.
Previously we let the user use the audio device ID, but this is not persistent
and can change when plugging in new devices. That of course made it quite
worthless for storing it as a user setting for GUIs, or for user scripts.
In theory getting the kAudioDevicePropertyDeviceUID can fail but it doesn't
on any of my devices, so I'm leaving the error reporting quite high and see if
someone complains.
There where 3 major errors in the previous code:
1) The kAudioDevicePropertyPreferredChannelLayout selector returns a single
layout not an array.
2) The check for AudioChannelLayout allocation size was wrong (didn't account
for variable sized struct).
3) Didn't query the kAudioDevicePropertyPreferredChannelsForStereo selector
since I didn't know about it's existence.
All of these are fixed.
Might help with #1367
AudioChannelLayout uses a trailing variable sized array so we need to
query CoreAudio for the size of the struct it is going to need (or the
conversion of that particular layout would fail).
Fixes#1366
This could trigger an assertion when using ao_alsa or ao_coreaudio. The
code was simply assuming the number of channel maps was bounded
statically (which was true at first in both AOs).
Fix by using dynamic memory allocation. It needs to be explicitly
enabled by the AOs by setting a temp context, because otherwise the
memory couldn't be freed. (Or at least this seems to be the most elegant
solution.)
Fixes#1306.
