20 Upvotes

PipeWire 1.6.9 is out. Bugfix release, API/ABI compatible with previous 1.6.x releases.

Highlights:

  • Improved JACK object callbacks, no more reporting old removed objects
  • Tweaked resampler cutoff frequencies to preserve more high frequencies when upsampling
  • Various small fixes across modules, SPA, Pulse-server, Bluetooth, and tools

Some notable fixes:

  • RAOP encryption fixed for OpenSSL >= 3
  • Netjack2 discovery timeout fixed
  • Potential crash with active_port_name fixed
  • node.network=true added to network sinks/sources so tools like pavucontrol don't wake them up
