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.
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.
