Although the origins lie somewhere in libaf, which was written by
"anders" and who explicitly disagreed with the LGPL relicensing, we can
change the license of these files, because all code was written by
"alex", who agreed with the relicensing.
The only things that remain from anders' code is the AF_FORMAT_ and af_
prefixes (see e.g. 66f4e563). It was alex who redid this file and added
the format identifiers we have today (507121f7). It's also nice to see
that alex actually claimed copyright on format.c (221a599f). In commit
efb50cab even the bitmask concept (which anders introduced with his
early af_format.c code) was removed, and essentially all lines and
symbols by anders were dropped.
To put it into perspective: the original af_format code was for
converting actual sample data and relied on OSS sample format
identifiers, mpv's format.c/h provides its own sample formats, but
does not do any data conversion.
Remove an now inaccurate comment from format.c (it somehow even survived
the typo that was present in the original commit). Also remove most of
the format.c include statements - most of them are technically anders'
code. We keep limits.h though.
All relevant authors of the current code have agreed.
As always, there are the usual historical artifacts that could be
mentioned. For example, there used to be a large number of decoders
by various authors who were not asked, but whose code was all 100%
removed. (Mostly due to FFmpeg providing all codecs.)
One point of contention is that Nick Kurshev might have refactored the
old audio decoder code in 2001. Basically, there are hints that it might
have been done by him, such as Arpi's commit message stating that the
code was imported from MPlayerXP (Nick's fork), or all the files having
his name in the "maintainer" field. On the other hand, the murky history
of ad.h weakens this - it could be that Arpi started this work, and Nick
took it (and possibly finished it).
In any case, Nick could not be reached, so there is no agreement for
LGPL relicensing from him. We're changing the license anyway, and assume
that his change in itself is not copyrightable. He only moved code, and
in addition used the equivalent video decoder framework (done by Arpi,
who agreed) as template. For example, ad_functions_s was basically
vd_functions_s, which the signature of the decode callback changed to
the same as audio_decode(). ad_functions_s also had a comment that said
it interfaces with "video decoder drivers" (I'm fixing this comment in
this commit).
I verified that no additional code was added that is copyright-relevant,
still in today's code, and not copied from the existing code at the time
(either from the previous audio decoder code or the video framework
code). What apparently matters here is that none of the old code was not
written by Nick, and the authors of the old code have given his
agreement, and (probably) that Nick didn't add actual new code (none
that would have survived), that was not trivially based on the old one
(i.e. no new copyrightable "work").
A copyright expert told me that this kind of change can be considered
not relevant for copyright, so here we go.
Rewriting this would end with the same code anyway, and the naming
conventions can't be copyrighted.
All relevant authors have agreed to the relicensing.
Problem cases:
eca47b1a5e: someone else gets credited for the "idea" of this change,
but it doesn't seem like it was a patch (otherwise reimar would have
said "patch"). Also, the associated code got essentially removed again
anyway. (The option parsing was rewritten fully.)
ffb529e4eb: anonymous/unknown author, but the code was fully removed
anyway. The struct was removed, and the modern code does explicit
read/write calls.
40789473d2: author was not contacted, but this code was removed
anyway. The magic number (0x7ffff000) is still in the new code, but I
don't think that is copyright relevant.
c750b8ab2d: the message was entirely removed.
All contributors of the current code have agreed. ao.c requires a
"driver" entry for each audio output - we assume that if someone who
didn't agree to LGPL added a line, it's fine for ao.c to be LGPL
anyway. If the affected audio output is not disabled at compilation
time, the resulting binary will be GPL anyway, and ootherwise the
code is not included.
The audio output code itself was inspired or partially copied from
libao in 7a2eec4b59 (thus why MPlayer's audio code is named libao2).
Just to be sure we got permission from Aaron Holtzman, Jack Moffitt, and
Stan Seibert, who according to libao's SVN history and README are the
initial author. (Something similar was done for libvo, although the
commit relicensing it forgot to mention it.)
242aa6ebd4: anders mostly disagreed with the LGPL relicensing, but we
got permission for this particular commit.
0ef8e55573: nick could not be reached, but the include statement was
removed again anyway.
879e05a7c1: iive agreed to LGPL v3+ only, but this line of code was
removed anyway, so ao_null.c can be LGPL v2.1+.
9dd8f241ac: patch author could not be reached, but the corresponding
code (old slave mode interface) was completely removed later.
This case is a bit weird, because MPlayer certainly also has a file
named af_format.c. Both appear to have the function of converting audio
data between sample formats.
However, mpv's af_format.c is a rewrite, and doesn't actually do
conversion by itself. It's similar to vf_format.c, and forces the
generic filter chain code to insert conversion filters, instead of doing
conversion explicitly.
mpv's current af_format.c started out as af_force.c in d9582ad0a4. It
was renamed to af_format.c in e60b8f181d, while the old af_format.c was
split into two new filters. In 943c785619 the filename was changed to
af_format.c as well.
The new af_format.c does not contain any libaf code, except for some
potentially copy & pasted skeleton and boilerplate code. (We don't
account for this in per-filter file licenses, as the old libaf code
has to be removed fully, at which point the filters will have to be
ported to another framework, which will removed that boilerplate code.)
The old filters based on af_format.c were progressively replaced and
removed. Support for non-native endian and formats with signedness
different from native FFmpeg was completely removed in 831d7c3c40.
The old 24 bit conversion code was removed in 552dc0d564 (made
unnecessary by 5a9f817bfd).
Also list hwdec_vaglx.c as GPL-only, which doesn't have anything to do
with this commit.
All authors have agreed.
The initial commit d33703496c as well as the current code contain this
line:
* inspired by SoundTouch library by Olli Parviainen
We assume this is about the algorithm (not the code), and the author of
the original patch actually wrote all code himself.
All authors have agreed.
One exception is 71247a97b3, whose author was not asked, but we deem
the change as trivial. (And technically it was replaced when the audio
chain dropped non-native endian sample formats.)
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.
All authors have agreed.
Commit 94d3170bd0 is a bit murky: Nick could not be reached, and arpi's
changes were obviously inspired or copied from Nick's. However, the
changed symbols were removed and do not exist anymore.
Although pretty similar to the probably unrelicensable
video/fmt-conversion.c/h (basically using the same idea, but for audio),
it was written by someone else. The format mapping was first added in
commit ad95e046c2.
The new replaygain code accidentally applied the linear gain as cubic
volume level. Fix this by moving the computation of the volume scale out
of the af_volume filter.
(Still haven't verified whether the replaygain code works correctly.)
IMMDeviceEnumerator_RegisterEndpointNotificationCallback() will start
listening for notifications, and is the point at which callbacks can
start firing. These callbacks will read the fields we set after the
register calls, which is a potential race condition. Move it upwards.
Literally copy-pasted from the same commit for video filters. (Once new
code for filters is implemented, this will all go away or at least get
unified anyway.)
This was supposed to restrict output to formats supported by us. But we
usually support all FFmpeg sample formats anyway (if not, it will error
out gracefully, and we would add the missing format). Basically, it's
just useless bloat.
This tried to use AF_FORMAT_DOUBLE as KSDATAFORMAT_SUBTYPE_IEEE_FLOAT,
with wBitsPerSample==64. This is probably not allowed, and drivers
appear to react inconsistently to it. (With one user, the format was
accepted during format negotiation, but then rejected on actual init.)
Remove it, which essentially forces it to fall back to some other
format. (Looks like it'll use af_select_best_samplerate(), which would
probably make it try S32 next.)
The af_fmt_from_planar() is so that we don't have to care about
AF_FORMAT_FLOATP. Wasapi always requires packed data anyway.
This should actually handle other potentially unknown sample formats
better.
This changes that set_waveformat() always set the exact format. Now it
might set a "close" format instead. But all callers seem to deal with
this well. Although in theory, callers should probably handle the
fallback. The next cleanup (if ever) can take care of this.
Basically, see the example in input.rst.
This is better than the "old" vf-toggle method, because it doesn't
require the user to duplicate the filter string in mpv.conf and
input.conf.
Some aspects of this changes are untested, so enjoy your alpha testing.
Remove low quality drc filter. Anyone whishing to have dynamic range
compression should use the much more powerful acompressor ffmpeg filter:
mpv --af=lavfi=[acompressor] INPUT
Or with parameters:
mpv --af=lavfi=[acompressor=threshold=-25dB:ratio=3:makeup=8dB] INPUT
Refer to https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-filters.html#acompressor for a full
list of supported parameters.

The buffer_size may be updated before the process callback is called for
the first time. Or, the connection graph could change, which changes the
latency of the pipeline after mpv's output. Ensure we keep on top of
these changes by registering callbacks to update our latency estimation.
It appears some device can be missing if we filter too many. In
particular, I've seen devices starting with "front" and "sysdefault"
being mapped to different hardware. I conclude that it's not sane trying
to present a nice device list to users in ALSA. It's fucked. (Although
kodi appears to attempt some intense "beautification" of the device
list, which includes parsing parameters from the device name and such.
Well, let's not.)
No other audio API requires such ridiculous acrobatics.
Apparently POLLERR can be set if poll is called while the device is in
the SND_PCM_STATE_PREPARED state. So assume that we can simply call
snd_pcm_status() to check whether the error is because the device went
away (i.e. we expect it to return ENODEV if this happened).
This avoids sporadic device lost warnings and AO reloads. The actual
device lost case is untested.
For example, previously, --audio-device='alsa/' would provide ao->device="" to
the alsa driver in spite of the fact that this is an already parsed option. To
avoid requiring a check of ao->device[0] in every driver, make sure this never
happens.
Fall back on PATH_DEV_DSP if nothing is set.
This mirrors the behaviour of --audio-device / --alsa-device.
There doesn't appear to be a general way to list devices with oss, so
--audio-device=help doesn't list oss devices except for the default one if the
file exists.
Previously --audio-device was ignored entirely by ao_oss.

Microsoft example code often uses a SAFE_RELEASE macro like the one in
the above link. This makes it easier to avoid errors when releasing COM
interfaces. It also reduces noise in COM-heavy code.
ao_wasapi.h also had a macro called SAFE_RELEASE, though unlike the
version above, its SAFE_RELEASE macro accepted a second parameter which
allowed it to destroy arbitrary objects other than just COM interfaces.
This renames ao_wasapi's SAFE_RELEASE to SAFE_DESTROY, which should more
accurately reflect what it does and prevent confusion with the Microsoft
version.
In a first pass, we check whether libavcodec is present.
Then we try to compile a snippet and check for FFmpeg vs. Libav. (This
could probably also be done by somehow checking the pkgconfig version.
But pkg-config can't deal with that idiotic FFmpeg idea that a micro
version number >= 100 identifies FFmpeg vs. Libav.)
After that we check the project-specific version numbers. This means it
can no longer happen that we accidentally allow older, unsupported
versions of FFmpeg, just because the Libav version numbers are somehow
this way.
Also drop the resampler checks. We hardcode which resampler to each with
each project. A user can no longer force use of libavresample with
FFmpeg.
This can be useful in other contexts.
Note that we end up setting AVCodecContext.width/height instead of
coded_width/coded_height now. AVCodecParameters can't set coded_width,
but this is probably more correct anyway.
The FFmpeg versions we support all have the APIs we were checking for.
Only Libav missed them. Simplify this by explicitly checking for FFmpeg
in the code, instead of trying to detect the presence of the API.
Since we set "skip_manual", we can actually get frames with this set.
Currently, only AV_PKT_FLAG_DISCARD will trigger this flag, and only
mov.c sets the latter flags, so this is related to FFmpeg's half-broken
mp4 edit list support.
Apparently you set the native sample rate when passing through AC3.
This fixes passthrough with 44100 Hz AC3.
Avoid opening a decoder for this and only open the parser. (Hopefully
DTS will also support this some time in the future or so - having to
open a decoder just to get the profile is dumb.)
Same deal as with video. Including the EOF handling.
(It would be nice if this code were not duplicated, but right now we're
not even close to unifying the audio and video code paths.)
