presented the release of the sound server Pulseaudio 16.0 , which acts as an intermediary between applications and various low -level sound subsystems, abstracting work with equipment. Pulseaudio allows you to control the volume and mixing of sound at the level of individual applications, organize the flow, mixing and output of sound in the presence of several input and output channels or sound cards, allows you to change the sound flow format on the summer and use plagins , makes it possible to transparently redirect the sound flow to another machine. The Pulseaudio code is distributed as part of the LGPL 2.1+ license. Work is supported in Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Dragonflybsd, NetBSD, MacOS and Windows.
Key
In the modules for transmitting/taking sound through tunnels (Tunnel-Sink and Tunnel-Source), the ability to configure the delay using the Latency_MSEC parameter (previously harshly exhibited a delay of 250 microseconds).
In the modules for transmitting/receiving sound through the tunnels, support for an automatic re -connection with the server in the event of a breakthrough of communication is ensured. To turn on the crossing, set the Reconnect_Interval_MS.
recedication
Added support for the provision of information on the level of charge of the battery of sound devices with the Bluetooth interface. The level of charge is also displayed among the properties of the device shown in the output “Pactl List” (property of Bluetooth.batty).
The possibility of output of information in JSON format was added to the Pactl utility. The selection of the format is carried out using the option ‘—Format’, which can take the values of Text or Json.
Supporting sterele has been added when using the Epos/Sennheiser GSP 670 and Steelseries Gamedac headsets, for which separate ALSA devices for stereo and mono are used (only the device for mono was supported).
Solved problems with sounding from sound cards based on the Texas Instruments PCM2902.
Added support for the 6-channel external sound card NATIVE Instruments Komplete Audio 6 MK2.
Problems with synchronization and accuracy of determining delays are solved When transmitting sound through tunnels and module Combine-Sink.
