Title:
pipewire alsa missing configurations on multi output systems
Status in pipewire package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Status in pipewire package in Debian:
Fix Released
Bug description:
I have this bug also if I install pipewire manaully on focal and
jammy.
I use a Java Application using the javax.sound package to get a output to the
AudioSystem.
I have an own Java library using the same and I poked around a bit:
It uses Alsa as Output. The line object Java provides has the
possibility to ask for the available bytes in the buffer. Normally
with pulseaudio you can see the buffer getting filled and then, as the
audio get's played back, recovering by the played back bytes amount.
With pipewire-pulse on the other hand it just fills the buffer and
reporting no more available bytes. But it plays back the bytes
successfully written to the buffer. Meaning its unable to write more,
as the available buffer size never recovers, even though the already
written ones have been played just fine.
I have checked the behavior also on Debain-testing, Manjaro and Fedora.
Fedora is the only distro without this problem.
Fedora has the package pipewire-alsa in its repositories and installed, which
is not available on the other distros. If I have understood it correctly, the
alsa functionality should be included into the default pipewire-pulse now, but
for some reason fedora decided to keep the extra package?
So I'd really like to see pipewire-pulse being the default in the
future, but this has to be fixed somehow.
For reference, here's an issue on the pipewire gitlab I've filed already
about this:
