PipeWire 0.3.77 (2023-08-04)

This is a quick bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible with previous
0.3.x releases.

Highlights

• Fix a bug in ALSA source where the available number of samples was miscaluclated
  and resulted in xruns in some cases.
  
• A new L permission was added to make it possible to force a link between
  nodes even when the nodes can't see eachother.
  
• The VBAN module now supports midi send and receive as well.
  
• Many cleanups and small fixes.
  

PipeWire

• Global objects now only show permissions that apply to them. The permissions
  required to perform various API calls are documented.
  
• A new L permission was added to make it possible to force a link between
  nodes even when the nodes can't see eachother.
  
• Config files need to end with .conf.
  
• The client.api is added the to global properties of a node.
  

modules

• The VBAN module now supports midi send and receive as well.
  
• Fix module-profiler alignment and make sure we don't overrun our buffers with
  many nodes.
  
• Protect libcanberra calls with a mutex because it is not thread safe. (#2834)
  

SPA

• Support older compilers for spa_clear_ptr().
  
• Fix a bug in ALSA source where the available number of samples was miscaluclated
  and resulted in xruns. (#3395)
  
• Don't set inotify on /dev but on the videoX devices directly. Setting inotify
  on /dev would cause a lot of spurious wakeups and lock contention in the
  fsnotify subsystem on some benchmarks.
  
• Audioconvert now rate limits the warnings when it runs out of buffers. (#3384)
  

pulse-server

• Some bugs and inconsistencies were fixed in device lookup.
  
• Improve subscribe event emission, detect changes to the sink or the monitor
  and send the right sink/source event. (#3388)
  

JACK

• The libjack.so now has a minor version of 3 and a micro version of the pipewire
  version.
  
• JACK clients will now see portregistration from other jack clients when they
  activate/deactivate like real JACK. (#3260)
  

bluetooth

• Use some more autoptr cleanups, fix some leaks.
