2020-02-06audio: proper support for float samples in mixengKővágó, Zoltán
This adds proper support for float samples in mixeng by adding a new audio format for it. Limitations: only native endianness is supported. None of the virtual sound cards support float samples (it looks like most of them only support 8 and 16 bit, only hda supports 32 bit), it is only used for the audio backends (i.e. host side).

There is no guarantee a single call to pa_stream_peek every timer_period microseconds can read a recording stream faster than the data gets produced at the source.

While the problem can also be seen with a hardware input device, it's obvious with the monitor of a hardware output device.

2019-08-21paaudio: fix playback glitchesKővágó, Zoltán
Pulseaudio normally assumes that when the server wants it, the client can generate the audio samples and send it right away. Unfortunately this is not the case with QEMU -- it's up to the emulated system when does it generate the samples. Buffering the samples and sending them from a background thread is just a workaround, that doesn't work too well. Instead enable pa's compatibility support and let pa worry about the details.

2019-03-18audio/paaudio: prolong and make latency configurableMartin Schrodt
The latency of a connection to the PulseAudio server is determined by the tlength parameter. This was hardcoded to 10ms, which is a bit too tight on my machine, causing audio on host and guest to malfunction. A setting of 15ms works fine here. To allow tweaking, I also made the setting configurable via the new -audiodev config. This allows to squeeze out better timings in scenarios where the emulation allows it. I also removed setting of the minreq parameter to (seemingly arbitrary) half the latency, since it showed worse audio quality during my tests. Allowing PulseAudio to request smaller chunks helped.

Audio drivers now get an Audiodev * as config paramters, instead of the global audio_option structs. There is some code in audio/audio_legacy.c that converts the old environment variables to audiodev options (this way backends do not have to worry about legacy options). It also contains a replacement of -audio-help, which prints out the equivalent -audiodev based config of the currently specified environment variables. Note that backends are not updated and still rely on environment variables. Also note that (due to moving try-poll from global to backend specific option) currently ALSA and OSS will always try poll mode, regardless of environment variables or -audiodev options.

2018-01-16maint: Fix macros with broken 'do/while(0); ' usageEric Blake
The point of writing a macro embedded in a 'do { ... } while (0)' loop (particularly if the macro has multiple statements or would otherwise end with an 'if' statement) is so that the macro can be used as a drop-in statement with the caller supplying the trailing ';'. Although our coding style frowns on brace-less 'if': if (cond) statement; else something else; that is the classic case where failure to use do/while(0) wrapping would cause the 'else' to pair with any embedded 'if' in the macro rather than the intended outer 'if'. But conversely, if the macro includes an embedded ';', then the same brace-less coding style would now have two statements, making the 'else' a syntax error rather than pairing with the outer 'if'. Thus, even though our coding style with required braces is not impacted, ending a macro with ';' makes our code harder to port to projects that use brace-less styles. The change should have no semantic impact. I was not able to fully compile-test all of the changes (as some of them are examples of the ugly bit-rotting debug print statements that are completely elided by default, and I didn't want to recompile with the necessary -D witnesses - cleaning those up is left as a bite-sized task for another day); I did, however, audit that for all files touched, all callers of the changed macros DID supply a trailing ';' at the callsite, and did not appear to be used as part of a brace-less conditional.

2011-01-25pulseaudio: process 1/4 buffer max at onceGerd Hoffmann
Limit the size of data pieces processed by the pulseaudio worker threads. Never ever process more than 1/4 of the buffer at once. Background: The buffer area currently processed by the pulseaudio thread is blocked, i.e. the main thread (or iothread) can't fill in more data there. The buffer processing time is roughly real-time due to the pa_simple_write() call blocking when the output queue to the pulse server is full. Thus processing big chunks at once means blocking a large part of the buffer for a long time. This brings high latency and can lead to dropouts. When processing the buffer in smaller chunks the rpos handling becomes a problem though. The thread reads hw->rpos without knowing whenever qpa_run_out has already seen the last (small) chunk processed and updated rpos accordingly. There is no point in reading hw->rpos though, pa->rpos can be used instead. We just need to take care to initialize pa->rpos before kicking the thread.

Refactor the volume mixing, so it can be reused for capturing devices. Additionally, it removes superfluous multiplications with the nominal volume within the hardware voice code path. Signed-off-by: Michael Walle <michael@walle.cc> Signed-off-by: malc <av1474@comtv.ru>
2010-09-29pulse-audio: fix bug on updating rposWu Fengguang
Fix a rpos coordination bug between qpa_run_out() and qpa_thread_out(), which shows up as playback noises. qpa_run_out() qpa_thread_out loop N critical section 1 qpa_run_out() qpa_thread_out loop N doing pa_simple_write() qpa_run_out() qpa_thread_out loop N doing pa_simple_write() qpa_thread_out loop N critical section 2 qpa_thread_out loop N+1 critical section 1 qpa_run_out() qpa_thread_out loop N+1 doing pa_simple_write() In the above scheme, "qpa_thread_out loop N+1 critical section 1" will get the same rpos as the one used by "qpa_thread_out loop N critical section 1". So it will be reading dead samples from the old rpos. The rpos can only be updated back to qpa_thread_out when there is a qpa_run_out() run between two qpa_thread_out loops. normal sequence: qpa_thread_out: hw->rpos (X0) => local rpos => pa->rpos (X1) qpa_run_out: pa->rpos (X1) => hw->rpos (X1) qpa_thread_out: hw->rpos (X1) => local rpos => pa->rpos (X2) buggy sequence: qpa_thread_out: hw->rpos (X0) => local rpos => pa->rpos (X1) qpa_thread_out: hw->rpos (X0) => local rpos => pa->rpos (X1') Obviously qpa_run_out() shall be called at least once between any two qpa_thread_out loops (after pa->rpos is set), in order for the new qpa_thread_out loop to see the updated rpos. Setting pa->live to 0 does the trick. The next loop will have to wait for one qpa_run_out() invocation in order to get a non-zero pa->live and proceed.

2009-10-13qemu: allow pulseaudio to be the defaultMichael S. Tsirkin
We're seeing various issues with the SDL audio backend and want to switch to the pulseaudio backend. See e.g. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/495964 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/519540 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/496627 The pulseaudio backend seems to work well, so we should allow it to be selected as the default.
