Changes:
- Add TimerNode (pmoaudio/src/nodes/timer_node.rs): Rate-limits audio chunk flow based on timestamps with configurable max_lead_time
- Integrate TimerNode into play_and_cache.rs pipeline: PlaylistSource → TimerNode (3s pacing) → AudioSink
- Improve EOF retry in playlist_source.rs: Wait for prebuffer (512KB) before decoding, retry on temporary EOF with 200ms delay
- Export TimerNode in pmoaudio lib.rs and nodes/mod.rs
Known issue: Cache files may still be truncated when TrackBoundary arrives before pump completes flushing.
This requires allowing parallel write tasks as suggested.
Problem Analysis:
- All FLAC files had the same pk (071c5713d5cf485ca688832207bef0f9)
- Root cause: read() can return < 1024 bytes on first call
- If read returned only 400 bytes:
* header.len() = 400
* 400 > 512 = false
* Used header[..] (first 400 bytes = FLAC header)
* All FLAC files have identical headers → same pk!
Solution:
- Added read_exact_or_eof() that loops until 1024 bytes read (or EOF)
- Guarantees we skip FLAC header and use actual audio content
- Works for small files (< 512 bytes) and large files (>= 1024 bytes)
Additional Feature:
- Added AudioSink::with_null_output() for testing without audio device
- Added --null-audio flag to play_and_cache example
- Allows testing in containerized environments
Changes:
1. pmocache/src/download.rs: Added read_exact_or_eof()
2. pmocache/src/cache.rs: Use read_exact_or_eof() for pk calculation
3. pmoaudio/src/nodes/audio_sink.rs: Added null output mode
4. pmoparadise/examples/play_and_cache.rs: Added --null-audio flag
Test Results:
- New pk: 83702c1cbca72074ebf7c123336786ea (was 071c...)
- Null audio output works correctly
- Ready for full testing
Problem:
- cpal::Stream is not Send
- Cannot use Stream across await points in async functions
- Caused compilation error in AudioSinkLogic::process
Solution:
- Spawn dedicated thread for cpal Stream (similar to rodio approach)
- Communicate with thread via std::mpsc channel
- Thread waits for shutdown command before dropping stream
- Main async loop can now safely await without Send issues
Changes:
- Add std::mpsc and std::thread imports
- Create stream_cmd channel (std::mpsc::channel)
- Spawn thread::spawn for stream creation and management
- Replace drop(stream) with stream_cmd_tx.send + thread.join
- Handle errors in thread with tracing::error (no ? operator)
Testing:
- Compiled successfully with libsoxr and libasound2 (local install)
- Dependencies installed in ~/.local without sudo
- PKG_CONFIG_PATH configured correctly
- LD_LIBRARY_PATH configured correctly
Note: pmoparadise example has unrelated netstat2 compilation issue
Changes:
- Remove all volume management (use VolumeNode in pipeline instead)
- Detect hardware format (I16/U16/F32) at startup
- Accept all AudioChunk formats (I16/I24/I32/F32/F64) as input
- Use optimized SIMD functions from dsp::int_float module
- SharedBuffer stores raw AudioChunk + intermediate F32 buffer
- Callbacks adapted to hardware format with proper conversion
Architecture:
1. AudioChunk pushed to SharedBuffer
2. Lazy conversion to F32 interleaved using dsp functions
3. Callback converts F32 → hardware format (I16/U16) if needed
Benefits:
- SIMD optimized conversions (dsp module)
- Clean separation of concerns (volume in VolumeNode)
- Hardware format detection (use native format when possible)
- Flexible input (accepts any AudioChunk type)
Note: Requires ALSA (libasound2-dev) on Linux for compilation
- Replace rodio dependency with cpal in pmoaudio/Cargo.toml
- Add AudioSink node using cpal for direct hardware access
- Add SharedBuffer for async/callback communication
- Convert all audio formats to F32 for cpal
- Improve latency and control over audio stream
- Add WHY_CPAL.md explaining the technical choice
- Update INSTALL_NOTES.md with ALSA requirements
- Export AudioSink in lib.rs and mod.rs
Benefits:
- Minimal latency (no extra layers)
- Direct hardware control
- Lighter binary (~3.8 MB less)
- Same ALSA dependency as rodio on Linux
- Cross-platform (ALSA/JACK on Linux, CoreAudio on macOS, WASAPI on Windows)
Implémente AudioSink qui permet la lecture audio en temps réel sur la sortie audio
standard via rodio avec architecture thread-safe.
- Nouveau nœud AudioSink avec thread dédié pour gérer rodio (OutputStream non-Send)
- Accepte tous formats audio (I16/I24/I32/F32/F64) et convertit vers I16
- Support volume, arrêt gracieux, transitions gapless
- Exemples: play_audio.rs et play_with_resampling.rs
- Documentation: INSTALL_LIBSOXR.md mise à jour avec instructions ALSA
- Tests unitaires inclus, tous passent
- Replace BitDepth::from_audio_chunk() with match pattern
- Use get_frames() instead of stereo() method (API change)
- Use as_i32() instead of to_i32() for I24 conversion
Also successfully installed libsoxr locally without sudo:
- Downloaded libsoxr-dev and libsoxr0 via apt-get
- Extracted to ~/.local using dpkg -x
- Set PKG_CONFIG_PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH
- Compilation now succeeds with libsoxr
The implementation is now complete and compiles successfully.
- Add Node::logic_mut() method to allow post-construction configuration
of node logic before run() is called
- Fix FlacCacheSink to properly transfer playlist_handle_pending to
the inner logic using logic_mut()
- Resolves FIXME at flac_cache_sink.rs:656 about missing logic_mut()
This enables the playlist registration mechanism to work correctly:
1. User calls register_playlist() on FlacCacheSink
2. Handle is stored in playlist_handle_pending
3. During run(), handle is transferred to FlacCacheSinkLogic
4. Tracks are automatically added to playlist after caching
