Replace the single-owner PCM queues with one shared LGMP SPMC stream.
Give each admitted client reliable state and an independent playback
cursor, while clients without clock authority resample locally.
Extend the audio protocol with per-client epochs and barriers.
Keep capture exclusive and bound authority backpressure so slow
secondary readers cannot affect the disciplined low-latency path.
Give microphone data priority over replaceable clock feedback and
reduce feedback traffic on the shared client-to-host FIFO.
Retry short FIFO stalls outside the realtime thread and coalesce
consecutive packets in the existing fixed Windows buffers.
Avoid one broker write per tiny PipeWire quantum without adding
allocations or intentional capture latency.
Advertise signed and floating-point 32-bit formats across mono,
stereo, quad, surround, 5.1, and 7.1 at every supported rate.
Carry sample encoding through the broker and LGMP protocol so integer
and floating-point streams remain distinct.
Expand packet, shared-memory, and ring capacity for eight-channel
32-bit audio.
Forward coalesced feedback through the broker to the render clock.
Keep capture independent and apply the rate to WaveRT timing.
Bound and slew targets, then restore unity when feedback stalls.
Withdraw feedback after the watchdog makes fallback safe.
Keep initial playback prewarming, but announce STOP when a stream that
has already run enters PAUSE or ACQUIRE. Restart it when RUN returns.
Keep RUN history across owner changes so a paused stream is not
mistaken for a new prewarm generation.
Only announce capture while it is running. Derive active status flags
from the stream generations successfully announced to the client.
Move audio ingress and playback-credit recovery off the display timer.
Poll through a dedicated MMCSS worker at sub-millisecond intervals.
Wake capture retries immediately and drain queued client records during
release so backpressure cannot stall recording or shutdown.
Add optional playback and capture streams to the LGMP transport.
Negotiate ownership over the existing control path and keep audio
availability isolated from display transport readiness.
Route broker packets through public LGMP stream APIs without changing
the LGMP queue table or shared-memory mapping.
Open the optional audio broker from a passive worker and move bounded
playback and capture packets through a transport-neutral audio hub.
Attach audio sources after transport initialization without making audio
driver availability part of display transport readiness.
Add LGProtocol as a pinned submodule and consume its KVMFR protocol
definitions throughout the client, host, IDD, OBS, and profiler.
Keep Looking Glass framebuffer helpers local while removing duplicated
protocol headers and migrating users to KVMFR-scoped types.
Do not publish the default all-off LED value until Windows supplies a
real HID output report. Treat the first all-off report as valid and
retain known state across pipe reconnects.
Serialize feedback processing with connection invalidation so a stale
message cannot restore validity after disconnect.
Report guest HID keyboard LED state from LGInput to LGIdd and
publish it with the LGMP input endpoint status.
Forward SPICE modifier updates through the same provider state so evdev
can synchronize physical keyboard LEDs across transport changes and
reconnects.
Bump the versioned pipe and KVMFR input status contracts for the new
feedback state.
Accept earlier LGMP input status versions without LED feedback so the
client retains input while the guest driver is being upgraded.
When LGIddHelper is unavailable, recovery requests could remain
pending until timeout while the virtual monitor stayed connected.
This could leave a logged-out guest without a usable display.
Fall back to departing the IDD monitor for active recovery, then
re-arrive it before normal recovery completes. Serialize monitor
lifecycle changes and preserve recovery ordering across Helper
reconnects, timeouts, and stale responses.
Retained native candidates and framebuffer targets are both linear
buffers with the same pitched layout. Publish partial damage using
CopyBufferRegion with byte offsets instead of encoding the ranges as
texture-footprint copies.
Collapse full-width rectangles into one command. Fall back to a full
copy when the partial path would exceed 256 commands, copy at least a
full frame of data, or receive invalid damage coordinates.
This removes the native-only command path introduced by 650636cc that
can fault the D3D12 copy queue after RGB24 benchmarking selects native.
Stop LGIddHelper before updating either UMDF stack. Disable LGInput
before LGIdd, update both packages while quiesced, then restore the
provider before its dependent and start the service last.
Use in-use replacement for UMDF binaries and prevent the INF from
restarting the Helper during package installation. Report each
SetupAPI restart result and propagate it through NSIS.
Roll back transaction-owned devices, packages, and service state on
fresh-install failure. Preserve dependency order during removal and
select the package actually installed on each devnode.
Extend the clipboard target boundary with ordered prefix delivery.
Pass up to four queued LGMP stream records to the Helper ring in one
operation, apply state only to the accepted prefix, and retain the
remaining suffix for exact retries.
The channel holds its write lock across the prefix and emits one pipe
doorbell per stream window instead of one per record.
Keep inbound stream payloads in the bounded stream-target window while
the Helper channel is busy and publish directly from those buffers.
Retain the pending target only for LGMP queue controls. Their credits
remain outstanding across retries.
This removes one full payload copy per client-to-Helper record without
changing delivery order, backpressure, or reset behavior.
Add a reusable copy path for moving data from write-combined mappings
into normal cacheable memory. Dispatch to MOVNTDQA-based SSE4.1 or AVX2
loads when the processor and OS support them, with a fenced fallback.
Use the optimized path when staging inbound clipboard stream records from
the IVSHMEM mapping.
Drive adaptive clipboard stream polling with a high-resolution waitable
timer instead of rounding microsecond delays into coarse wait-function
timeouts.
Preserve the explicit stop and local wake events while avoiding a clock-tick
stall at each file-transfer window.
Use the documented Win32 wait constants throughout the pipe, clipboard,
and input workers instead of local numeric aliases.
Select the WDK NT-status definitions before including Windows headers.
Include wudfwdm.h privately in the affected translation units so UMDF 2
provides NTSTATUS without exposing WDF headers through LGCommon's public
interface to the desktop Helper.
