This is a quick bugfix release that is API and ABI compatible with previous
0.3.x releases.
Highlights
Fix a regression that would cause the MPV pipewire backend to fail because
of a spurious thread-loop signal.
Fix a crash when DBus is not found.
ALSA hires timestamps are now disabled by default.
Some more fixes and improvements.
PipeWire
A new option was added to pw-thread-loop to signal when the thread starts.
This is only used in module-rt to avoid regressions in mpv. (#3374)
Fix a compilation problem.
Stream flags now only set the properties when not already set. This fixes
a regression with node autoconnect. (#3382)
Tools
pw-cat will now stop when the stream is disconnected. (#2731)
Improve the pw-cat man page, mention that stdin/stdout handling is only
on raw data.
modules
module-rt will now not crash when dbus is not available but error out as
before.
A new VBAN (vb-audio.com) sender and receiver was added. (#3380)
SPA
Add an option in audioconvert to disable volume updates. (#3361)
ALSA hires timestamps are disabled by default because many drivers seem to
give wrong timestamps and cause extra delay.
bluetooth
LE Audio support is now enabled by default when liblc3 is available now that
bluez has support for detecting the hardware features.
