Package: pipewire-pulse
Version: 0.3.78-1
Severity: normal
Dear pipewire maintainers,
* What led up to the situation?
I'm trying to getting Mobian Pinephone (PP) audio phone calls to fully
work (person on remote phone hears me and I hear the person on the
remote phone). See
https://salsa.debian.org/Mobian-team/packages/alsa-ucm-conf/-/issues/8
https://salsa.debian.org/Mobian-team/packages/alsa-ucm-conf/-/issues/9
for details.
A bug related to callaudiod in pipewire-0.3.77 was reported to be fixed
in 0.3.78: https://gitlab.com/mobian1/callaudiod/-/issues/30 .
I had pipewire 0.3.77-1 from Mobian/Debian/trixie installed.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I compiled pipewire 0.3.78-1 from Debian (salsa) source with
'fakeroot debian/rules binary'
after applying the two patches in debian/patches/ .
I installed all the newly compiled *.deb files that matched names that I
already had
from 0.3.77-1, using dpkg -i *.deb. More specifically, I did:
'for i in gstreamer1.0-pipewire_0.3.78-1_arm64.deb
libpipewire-0.3-0_0.3.78-1_arm64.deb libpipewire-0.3-modules_0.3.78-1_arm64.deb
libspa-0.2-bluetooth_0.3.78-1_arm64.deb libspa-0.2-jack_0.3.78-1_arm64.deb
libspa-0.2-libcamera_0.3.78-1_arm64.deb libspa-0.2-modules_0.3.78-1_arm64.deb
pipewire_0.3.78-1_arm64.deb pipewire-alsa_0.3.78-1_arm64.deb
pipewire-audio_0.3.78-1_all.deb
pipewire-audio-client-libraries_0.3.78-1_all.deb
pipewire-bin_0.3.78-1_arm64.deb pipewire-jack_0.3.78-1_arm64.deb
pipewire-pulse_0.3.78-1_arm64.deb; do sudo dpkg -i ${i}; done'
four times, as a brute force alternative to working out in which order the
packages depended on each other. The first three times each reported missing
dependencies, but fewer each time. The fourth iteration appeared to be
error-free.
I checked that the apt system was clean with
dpkg --audit
which gave an empty response.
I restarted pipewire (several times).
* What was the outcome of this action?
Some phone calls worked :). And some phone calls failed :(.
More specifically, after analysing and tidying log files for my main bug,
I found that the old /usr/bin/pipewire-pulse (0.3.77-1) is still running.
The output of 'pw-dump' shows that there is a mix of 0.3.78-1 and 0.3.77-1
running in parallel. I've kept this situation for the purposes of reporting
this bug, but I'll kill off the old pipewire-pulse process after filing the bug
report.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
What I expected was that the dpkg/apt system and/or the systemd system
should have recognised that the old 'pipewire-pulse' process was invalid
and should have forced it to restart with the 0.3.78-1 version.
SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS:
(1) dpkg or the debian/control or other debian/* file - if pipewire
is re-installed and pipewire-pulse is present, then pipewire-pulse
must not only be updated to the same version, but any processes
actually running must be restarted too. This depends on whether the
debian/* files force restarting of the systemd services or not.
If the services are restarted, then it seems to me that pipewire-pulse
must be restarted along with pipewire (if pipewire-pulse is installed).
(2) systemd alone - if (i) the pipewire-pulse service exists, and (ii)
pipewire is restarted, then (iii) pipewire-pulse must be restarted. I
can only make an educated guess as to what the systemd rules for this
should be. My guess is:
/lib/systemd/user/pipewire.service
PropagatesStopTo=pipewire-pulse
/lib/systemd/user/pipewire-pulse.service
StopPropagatedFrom=pipewire
since a 'restart' is presumably a stop and a start. There doesn't
seem to be a pair PropagatesRestartTo and RestartPropagatesTo.
COMMENT: If upstream has a separate 'pipewire-pulse' package, then
this issue should presumably be also fixed upstream.
