PipeASIO v1.6.0

Added

• The driver shows up in volume mixers (#25). Its node is a playback stream
  (Stream/Output/Audio) with Props and a Format, so pavucontrol,
  plasma-pa, pulsemixer and wpctl list the host with a slider and mute. The
  level scales the host's output per channel inside the driver, inputs are
  untouched, and WirePlumber restores it per host as for any stream. Routing is
  unchanged: the node carries no node.autoconnect, so WirePlumber does not
  link it.
• Bottles instructions (#24), verified against the Flatpak with a Soda 11.0
  runner: the PE stub goes into the bottle, WINEDLLPATH into its environment,
  and regsvr32 runs through bottles-cli shell so the bottle's own runner
  registers it. pipeasio-register refuses a bottle (anything with a
  bottle.yml) unless WINE names the runner, since host Wine re-stamps the
  bottle for its own build.

Changed

• The settings panel names the scheduling mode. follow_device_clock has always
  set two properties at once (the target device drives the cycle, and the node
  turns asynchronous), but the checkbox and tooltip only mentioned the quantum.
  The checkbox is now "Follow device clock", the tooltip names both effects,
  and a read-only Scheduling row reads synchronous or
  asynchronous (+1 period, 2.7 ms), tracking the checkbox and the buffer
  period live.

Fixed

• pipeasio-register no longer runs host Wine inside a Proton prefix (#22).
  The README's Proton section said to register that way, and host Wine's first
  process in a prefix rewrites its registry and system32 for the host build,
  not the runner's. The script refuses a prefix with Proton's tracked_files
  (beside drive_c, or one level up in Steam's compatdata/<id>/pfx).
  WINE=<command> substitutes another launcher; WINE=umu-run with
  PROTONPATH and GAMEID registers through the game's runner and leaves the
  prefix untouched. README, website and uninstall instructions use that form.
• The 32-bit WoW64 front end links again against Wine 11.16 and later, whose
  libwinecrt0.a gained a tls.o that collided with mingw's TLS support on
  __xl_a/__xl_z. mingw's runtime owns TLS init, so it now owns those
  symbols too.
• The docs asserted that the driver "is scheduled synchronously" without
  qualification, which is wrong whenever follow_device_clock is on. The
  realtime section, the Performance list, the FL Studio troubleshooting entry
  and the website FAQ now attach that claim to the synchronous case only.
• The docs called follow_device_clock a requirement for Bluetooth sinks and
  promised silence without it. Some Bluetooth sinks accept a forced quantum and
  run synchronously, so the README, the panel tooltip and the website now say to
  try it both ways.

Install

Prebuilt for Arch Linux / CachyOS (x86_64). The exact build toolchain (Wine, glibc, PipeWire, MinGW) is recorded in BUILD-INFO.txt inside the tarball.

• User-local: tar -xzf pipeasio-v1.6.0-archlinux-x86_64.tar.gz -C "$HOME/.local", then run pipeasio-register.
• Proton / Faugus: extract to $HOME/.local and set WINEDLLPATH=$HOME/.local/lib/wine.

Compatibility

A Wine builtin DLL is coupled to the Wine version and glibc it was built against. A different Wine or an older glibc may fail to load (regsvr32 c0000135). In that case build from source (README) or use the AUR package. Source tarballs are attached automatically below.
