This change allows the audiodevs to return the minimum period frames
needed to start playback instead of having to rely on a pull to obtain
these details.
Additionally we are using this information to select an initial start
latency as well as to train the desired latency in order to keep it as
low as possible.
This change is based on the techniques described in [1] and [2].
The input audio stream from Spice is not synchronised to the audio playback
device. While the input and output may be both nominally running at 48 kHz,
when compared against each other, they will differ by a tiny fraction of a
percent. Given enough time (typically on the order of a few hours), this
will result in the ring buffer becoming completely full or completely
empty. It will stay in this state permanently, periodically resulting in
glitches as the buffer repeatedly underruns or overruns.
To address this, adjust the speed of the received data to match the rate at
which it is being consumed by the audio device. This will result in a
slight pitch shift, but the changes should be small and smooth enough that
this is unnoticeable to the user.
The process works roughly as follows:
1. Every time audio data is received from Spice, or consumed by the audio
device, sample the current time. These are fed into a pair of delay
locked loops to produce smoothed approximations of the two clocks.
2. Compute the difference between the two clocks and compare this against
the target latency to produce an error value. This error value will be
quite stable during normal operation, but can change quite rapidly due
to external factors, particularly at the start of playback. To smooth
out any sudden changes in playback speed, which would be noticeable to
the user, this value is also filtered through another delay locked loop.
3. Feed this error value into a PI controller to produce a ratio value.
This is the target playback speed in order to bring the error value
towards zero.
4. Resample the input audio using the computed ratio to apply the speed
change. The output of the resampler is what is ultimately inserted into
the ring buffer for consumption by the audio device.
Since this process targets a specific latency value, rather than simply
trying to rate match the input and output, it also has the effect of
'correcting' latency issues. If a high latency application (such as a media
player) is already running, the time between requesting the start of
playback and the audio device actually starting to consume samples can be
very high, easily in the hundreds of milliseconds. The changes here will
automatically adjust the playback speed over the course of a few minutes to
bring the latency back down to the target value.

In unbounded mode, the read and write pointers are free to move
independently of one another. This is useful where the input and output
streams are progressing at the same rate on average, and we want to keep
the latency stable in the event than an underrun or overrun occurs.
If an underrun occurs (i.e., there is not enough data in the buffer to
satisfy a read request), the missing values with be filled with zeros. When
the writer catches up, the same number of values will be skipped from the
input.
If an overrun occurs (i.e., there is not enough free space in the buffer to
satisfy a write request), excess values will be discarded. When the reader
catches up, the same number of values will be zeroed in the output.
Unbounded mode is currently unused since our audio input and output
streams are not synchronised. This will be implemented in a later commit.
Also reimplemented as a lock-free queue which is safer for use in audio
device callbacks.
If a new playback is started while the previous playback is still flushing,
we simply allow the stream to continue playing and effectively cancel the
flush. In general this is not safe because there may not be enough data in
the buffer to avoid underrunning. We could handle this better later by
trying to insert the right number of silent samples into the buffer, but
for now just completely stop the previous stream before starting the new
one.
These are implemented as ScrollLock+Up/Down for volume up and down, and
ScrollLock+M to toggle audio mute. These should prove useful especially
when Looking Glass now supports streaming audio, and the volume is
defined in the guest and set on the output stream.
This prevents LGMP_ERR_QUEUE_FULL from happening with high polling rate
mice, which is caused by receiving many more mouse events while the
guest cursor warps, triggering more warps.
When using jitRender, or on the first frame of an alert the window
doesn't get resized immediately causing it to cut off the end of the
text.
ImGui needs two passes to calulate the bounding box for automatically
sized windows, this is per it's design and not a bug, see:
https://github.com/ocornut/imgui/issues/2158#issuecomment-434223618
If the guest supports sending us it's UUID and PureSpice has also
reported the guest's UUID, check them to see if the user has
accidentially connected to the wrong spice socket.
This change allows the host to provide information to the client about
how the VM is configured, information such as the UUID, CPU
configuration and capture method both for informational display in the
client as well as debugging in the client's logs.
The format of the records allows this to be extended later with new
record types without needing to bump the KVMFR version.
g_state.posInfoValid could become valid after the guest reports the
cursor position, in which case we did not show the cursor until another
update occurs.
This commit eliminates the race by performing the update when
g_state.posInfoValid becomes true.
The cursorThread prevents the host from going to sleep when the
video feed is disabled as it's subscribed to the cursor queue. Stopping
the cursorThread will unsubscribe from the queue and allow the host
application to disable capture.
This prevents attempts to grab the pointer after the guest side warp
finishes if the pointer has left the window in the meantime. On Wayland,
this would result in the pointer moving to the middle of the window when
the confine is created.
Previously, all progress made during sleep is reset, so if the thread keeps
getting interrupted before the sleep finishes, the sleep will never complete.
The translucent white modal background sort of cancels out the dark
background we apply to the overlay, which is undesirable. It should
instead further darken the background.
For consistency, we now use igGetColorU32Col(ImGuiCol_ModalWindowDimBg)
to draw the overlay background, to avoid hardcoding the same colour in
multiple places.
Currently, this is visible through how fast the cursor blinks, with it
blinking faster at higher refresh rates. This commit makes the timing
consistent.
imgui really hates it when we update the modifier key state after igNewFrame.
The result is:
void ImGui::ErrorCheckEndFrameSanityChecks(): Assertion
`(key_mod_flags == 0 || g.IO.KeyMods == key_mod_flags) &&
"Mismatching io.KeyCtrl/io.KeyShift/io.KeyAlt/io.KeySuper vs io.KeyMods"'
failed.
Therefore, we buffer the modifier state information and update it in the IO
object right before we call igNewFrame.
This avoids warping the host cursor when the guest-side warp has not finished,
which will result in the host cursor exiting at the wrong position if it exits
at that moment.
Due to the way assert is defined in standard C, compilers in release mode
will not treat it as unreachable. This explains a lot about those pesky
uninitialized variable bugs, actually.
It looks really weird having a separator right after a sentence ending in :.
A separator makes the list look detached from the paragraph that introduces
it, which looks awkward. Instead, this commit moves the separator before the
introducing paragraph.
Also added logic to properly pluralize the sentence.
The display servers and renderers may want to register their own
overlays in the future, as such we need g_state.overlays to be
initialized to allow for this.
Since we only update imgui's cursor location when the overlay is
enabled, if the last cursor position was showing a shape that is
incorrect when we re-enter the overlay the cursor will be wrong. This
corrects this by updating the location as we enter overlay mode.
