Currently, it takes one adjust time before the smoother is updated after an unsuspend. Before the first update, the smoother will not be aware of the slave sink latencies, leading to incorrect latency reports. This patch moves the first smoother update to one latency time after the sink was unsuspended, thereby improving initial latency reports. This only partially resolves the problem because the smoother takes multiple updates to adapt to the slave sink latencies. --- src/modules/module-combine-sink.c | 10 +++++++--- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/modules/module-combine-sink.c b/src/modules/module-combine-sink.c index 7c111246..559f6575 100644 --- a/src/modules/module-combine-sink.c +++ b/src/modules/module-combine-sink.c @@ -788,9 +788,6 @@ static void unsuspend(struct userdata *u) { PA_IDXSET_FOREACH(o, u->outputs, idx) output_enable(o); - if (!u->time_event && u->adjust_time > 0) - u->time_event = pa_core_rttime_new(u->core, pa_rtclock_now() + u->adjust_time, time_callback, u); - pa_log_info("Resumed successfully..."); } @@ -822,6 +819,13 @@ static int sink_set_state_in_main_thread_cb(pa_sink *sink, pa_sink_state_t state if (pa_sink_get_state(u->sink) == PA_SINK_SUSPENDED) unsuspend(u); + /* The first smoother update should be done early, otherwise the smoother will + * not be aware of the slave sink latencies and report far too small values. + * This is especially important if after an unsuspend the sink runs on a different + * latency than before. */ + if (state == PA_SINK_RUNNING && !u->time_event && u->adjust_time > 0) + u->time_event = pa_core_rttime_new(u->core, pa_rtclock_now() + pa_sink_get_requested_latency(u->sink), time_callback, u); + break; case PA_SINK_UNLINKED: -- 2.14.1
