PipeWire 1.3.83 (2025-02-20)

This is the third and hopefully last 1.4 release candidate that
is (almost) API and (entirely) ABI compatible with previous 1.2.x
and 1.0.x releases.

We note that in the 1.3.x series, the API is slighty not backwards
compatible because some methods previously used to accept void* as
a parameter while they now require the correct type. We think this
is however a good kind of API breakage and expect projects to patch
their code to get things compiled with newer version (which will also
compile for older versions). Note also that this is not an ABI break.

PipeWire

• Handle JACK transport updates in a better way. (#4543)
  

Modules

• Check that the link factory port and nodes match. Deprecate the
  port.id when making links.
  
• Improve profiler output by scaling the quantum with the node
  rate so that we don't end up with confusing information. (#4555)
  
• Fix sending of the SAP SDP. Handle some SDP parsing errors.
  
• Add some more options to the ROC source module. (#4516)
  

SPA

• Fix firewire quirks in udev rules. (#4528)
  
• Fix a bug in the rate scaling in some cases that would make things
  run with the wrong samplerate.
  
• Improve introspection of control types.
  

Bluetooth

• Use the G722 codec from Android instead of FFmpeg for ASHA.
  
• Use the A2DP source rate as the graph rate. (#4555)
  
• Specify the bluetooth source latency property in the rate of the
  stream to avoid conversions and rounding errors.
