Sometimes, ALSA will return channel layouts with padded channels (NA
speakers). Use them instead of failing.
This still includes the old "braindeath" code to retry with a layout
without NA channels. This might be helpful for performance, and also the
padded channel layout string looks confusing.
To be fair, I have not encountered a case yet which would really need
this, and for which the old "braindeath" code did not fix it.
volatile barely means anything.
The polling is kind of bad too, but relatively harmless as device
opening/closing is a rare event, and the format change is not expected
to take long.
Remove the pointless talloc call too (must have been a leftover
from previous refactoring).
No reason to keep them separate. It's an artifact from the old
ao_coreaudio.c, which kept usage of two different APIs in the same file.
Removes a forward reference too.
Instead of trying to use af_format_conversion_score() (which tries to be
all kinds of clever), just compare the raw bits as a quality measure. Do
this because otherwise, weird formats like padded 24 bit formats will be
excluded, even though they might be the highest precision formats for
some hardware.
This means that for now, the user would have to check whether the format
is usable at all before calling ca_asbd_is_better(). But since this is
currently only used for ao_coreaudio.c and for the physical format, it
doesn't matter.
If coreaudio-exclusive should get PCM support, the best would be to
revert this change, and to add support for 24 bit formats directly.
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.
It appears this is the reason coreaudio-exclusive does not work without
explicitly specifying a device, even if the default device maps to
something passthrough-capable.
Instead of always picking a somehow better format over the previous one,
select a format that is equal to or better the requested format, but is
also reasonably close.
Drop the mFormatID comparison - checking the sample format handles this
already.
Make sure to exclude channel counts that can't be used.
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 should for now be equivalent; it's merely more explicit and will
be required if we add PCM support.
Note that the property listeners actually tell you what property
exactly changed, but resolving the current listener mess would be too
hard. So check for changes manually.
Useful with some of the following commits.
ca_fill_asbd() should behave exactly as before.
Instead of actually implementing the inverse function of ca_fill_asbd(),
just loop over the (small) list of mpv functions and check if any mpv
equivalent to a given ASBD exists.
kAudioFormatFlagIsSignedInteger implicates that it's only used with
integer formats. The mpv internal flag on the other hand signals the
presence of a sign, and this is set on float formats.
Until now, this probably worked fine, because at least AudioUnit is
ignoring the uncorrect flag.
mp_chmap_from_channels_alsa() doesn't always succeed - there are a bunch
of channel counts for which no defined ALSA layout exists. Fallback to
stereo in this case. (Normally, this code path shouldn't happen at all.)
Silence the usually user-visible warning about unsupported channel maps.
This might be an ALSA bug, but ALSA will never fix this behavior anyway.
(Or maybe it's a feature.)
Log some other information that might be useful.
The message log level shouldn't get to decide whether something fails
or not. So replace the fatal error check on the verbose output code
path with a warning.
* unify passthrough and pcm exclusive mode format setting/testing
* set passthrough format parameters correctly
* support all of mpv's existing passthrough formats
* automatically test passthrough with exclusive mode and enable
exclusive if it succeeds, even if it was not explictly requested.
this obviates the need for --ao=wasapi,wasapi=exclusive
* if passthrough fails (such as the device doesn't support the
format), fallback to either exclusive pcm or shared mode depending
on what the user specified. Right now this isn't very useful as
it still fails due to the decoder path remainin stuck on spdif.
fixes#1742
Take advantage of the fact that list_devs is called with a
hotplug_inited ao. Also eliminate unnecessary nested function
abstraction of hotplug_(un)init and list_devs. However, keep list_devs
in ao_wasapi_utils.c since it uses the private functions get_device_id,
get_device_name and exposing these would require including headers for
IMMDevice in ao_wasapi_utils.h.
Create a second copy of the change_notify structure for the hotplug
ao. change_notify->is_hotplug distinguishes the hotplug version from
the regular one monitoring the currently playing ao. Also make the
change notification less verbose now that there might be two of them around.
