feat: bit-perfect audio output (Linux/ALSA) - #311
Conversation
Disables resampling end-to-end and retunes the output device to each track's native sample rate instead of a fixed one, so lossless local files and Navidrome/Subsonic streams reach the device unaltered. Adds a pluggable audio sink (ALSA cgo backend on Linux, falls back to the existing beep/oto speaker elsewhere), a BIT PERFECT status indicator (active only at 0dB volume, flat EQ, no mono, 1.0x speed, exact native rate), and bitperfect/bitperfect_device config keys and CLI flags.

Bit-perfect mode now requests temporary exclusive access to a hw:/plughw: device via the D-Bus device-reservation protocol (the same mechanism JACK has long used), so a sound server yields the device while cliamp plays and reclaims it automatically afterward — no permanent config, no manual toggling, and the device stays available to other apps the rest of the time. Rate exactness is now independently verified against the kernel's own view of the underlying hardware substream instead of trusting the ALSA API report, since a conversion layer (plughw:, a sound server) can silently resample a request it can't honor and still report success. This fixes a real false positive (a 192kHz file on a 96kHz-capped DAC previously showed bit-perfect) while still allowing plughw: devices to earn the badge for rates they genuinely support natively. The playback status now always shows the live sample rate next to the bit-perfect badge (e.g. "192→96kHz" on a mismatch), and docs/config make clear that bitperfect_device pointed at real hardware is required to get verifiable bit-perfect output — the system default device can never be verified this way, and cliamp now warns at startup if it's misconfigured that way.

I reviewed this together with an AI and found several likely breakages. I do not think this is safe to merge yet.

Fixes the 8 issues bjarneo flagged on PR bjarneo#311: - Fix a deadlock: closeLocked now forces a blocked/hung writer to unblock via snd_pcm_drop before waiting on it, instead of holding devMu indefinitely (which every other sink method also needs, including the ones the UI tick loop calls every frame). - Stop silently going dead on an unrecoverable ALSA write error: the sink now retries the same device once, then falls back to the sound-server default so playback keeps going, and surfaces the failure once via a new sink.Err()/Player.OutputErr(), mirroring the existing StreamErr() pattern. - Implement the missing RequestRelease side of the D-Bus device-reservation protocol, so a higher-priority application can actually get the device back instead of cliamp holding it for the rest of the process's life. - Fix chained OGG/Icecast radio playing at the wrong pitch/speed after a bit-perfect rate switch: the internal resample target was frozen at pipeline-construction time, before the device was actually retuned. - Skip the expensive pipeline build (ffmpeg, network, provider request) for a preloaded next track that bit-perfect mode would immediately discard for a rate mismatch — a cheap ffprobe now short-circuits it first. - Fix false-positive bit-perfect badges on HLS/radio/yt-dlp streams and after a failed native-rate probe: "source rate" no longer conflates with "whatever rate ffmpeg was told to target" (trackPipeline.verifiedSourceRate). - Extend the exactness check to verify sample format and channel count too, not just rate, closing another false-positive path. Also adds bitperfect_channels / --bitperfect-channels: lets a multichannel audio interface with no native stereo mode (its one PCM substream only accepts a fixed, larger channel count) be used for bit-perfect output by picking which physical channel pair carries left/right. Verified end-to-end against real Komplete Audio 6 hardware — plughw:'s own channel-conversion layer can't be trusted for this any more than it can for rate, so it requires a raw hw: device, same as the existing rate-exactness rule.

BitPerfectStatus gains SourceBits (from the existing sourceBytes precision already used for the bit-depth-reduction blocker check), rendered as "24bit/96kHz" next to the rate — both on the badge and the dimmed not-yet-verified readout. Falls back to the rate alone when bit depth isn't known yet. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
BitPerfectStatus.SourceBits reused sourceBytes (beep.Format.Precision), the same field the blocker check uses for "is this decoder's own output being truncated" — but for any FFmpeg-decoded source (ALAC, M4A, AAC, Opus, WMA, WebM), bit-perfect mode always decodes through 32-bit float regardless of the source's real depth, so Precision there is always 4, independent of what the file actually is. A 24-bit ALAC file showed "32bit" in the badge. Splits it the same way verifiedSourceRate already splits from format.SampleRate: a new trackPipeline.verifiedSourceBits, set only where the decode is genuinely reading the container's own bit depth (decodeWithExt's native wav/flac/ogg/mp3 branches, and chained OGG) — left unverified (0, badge omits the prefix) for every FFmpeg path, which has no way to know the source's real depth without extra probing. Verified against a real 24-bit ALAC file (previously showed 32bit, now correctly shows no bit-depth claim) and a real 24-bit FLAC (still correctly shows 24bit — no regression). Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
… sources The previous fix was too conservative: it correctly stopped claiming a false bit depth for any FFmpeg-decoded source, but left every such source unverified — including genuinely lossless ones (a 24-bit FLAC streamed from Navidrome, or a local 24-bit ALAC file), which do have a real, probeable bit depth. Both paths already probe ffprobe for the source's own sample rate for exactly this reason; this extends the same probe to bit depth (bits_per_raw_sample, which ffprobe only populates for a lossless codec, so a transcoded/lossy Navidrome stream correctly stays unverified). Verified against the user's actual Navidrome server and a real 24-bit "Hi-Res Masters" FLAC: previously showed no bit depth at all after the prior fix, now correctly shows 24bit. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Fix a real deadlock: writeLoop called handleFatal synchronously, before its own deferred close(dev.done) had run, and handleFatal takes devMu. A concurrent Close/SetSampleRate/onReservationPreempted that already held devMu and was blocked in closeLocked waiting on <-dev.done would then wait forever for a close(dev.done) that could never fire — full process hang. Dispatching handleFatal on its own goroutine lets writeLoop return and unblock dev.done first; handleFatal's existing s.dev != dev staleness check already handles running after the device was replaced/closed. - Stop pairing a verified bit depth with an unverified source rate: the buffered-URL pipeline's rate and bits probes run independently and can disagree on success, so SourceBits is now only ever populated in BitPerfectStatus when SourceRate is also known — otherwise "24bit/48kHz" could show 48kHz as if it were the source's rate when it's actually just whatever the device happens to be running at. - Validate bitperfect_channels from config.toml at startup the same way --bitperfect-channels already is from the CLI: previously a typo there reached player.New, failed silently, and fell back to the beep speaker with no warning shown anywhere except the in-app readout. - Fix chained OGG/Icecast's verified source rate and bit depth going stale after a mid-stream chain() boundary to a differently-rated segment: trackPipeline's verified fields are frozen at pipeline-build time from the first segment, so BitPerfect() now prefers a decoder's live values (chainedOggStreamer.CurrentSourceRate/CurrentSourceBits) when available, read under the sink's lock to match chain()'s own synchronization. Verified: full playback + EQ/volume/mono/pause/resume smoke test, real bit-perfect playback via Navidrome (Hi-Res Masters, 24bit/96kHz), the new config warning shown live for a malformed bitperfect_channels, and a clean quit (no hang) — all against the real hardware. go test -race ./player/... passes.

…ferent rate Reported: play a 192kHz FLAC (correctly falls back to 96kHz, hardware caps there) — then a 24-bit/96kHz FLAC right after shows no bit-perfect badge, even though 96kHz is genuinely exact on this device. Root cause predates this session's changes. SetSampleRate's fast path skipped reopening whenever the device's *settled* rate already matched the new request (`s.dev.rate == rate`), reusing the existing alsaDevice as-is. But alsaDevice.exact is computed against what was actually *requested* when the device was opened, not what it settled on — a 192kHz request that the hardware can't honor can still succeed by settling at a lower rate via the resample-allowed negotiation path (see the file's own header comment), with exact correctly false since the settled rate doesn't match the request. The next track wanting that settled rate as its own native rate matched the fast path and reused that same non-exact device without ever reopening at a fresh, verifiable request for its own rate. Added alsaDevice.requestedRate (what was actually asked for, vs .rate, what it settled on) and compare against that instead — a request only takes the fast path if it matches a previous request that was verified against, not just a rate the device happens to already be sitting at for an unrelated reason. Verified live: 192kHz FLAC (falls back to 24bit/192kHz→96kHz, correct) immediately followed by a 24-bit/96kHz FLAC now correctly shows ◆ BIT PERFECT 24bit/96kHz — previously showed no badge. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Found while re-checking the previous SetSampleRate fast-path fix for other instances of the same bug class: a gapless transition never calls alignOutput/SetSampleRate at all (that's the point — no device reopen, no gap), so preloadPipeline's decision to allow a gapless transition needs to independently account for whether the current device is actually verified exact, not just whether its settled rate happens to match the next track's. Before this, a track following an unsupported-rate fallback (e.g. a 192kHz FLAC that settled at 96kHz, non-exact) would gapless-transition into a genuinely-96kHz-native track without ever reopening the device — silently carrying the previous track's non-exact verdict into one that should have earned the badge. Manually skipping tracks already worked (goes through a full Play()/alignOutput()), which is why the previous fix's test passed; letting a track end naturally into gapless auto-advance did not. Fix: preloadPipeline now also defers (forcing the eventual play to go through a real reopen) when !RateExact(), not just on a rate mismatch. Verified live, both directions: 192kHz-short → 96kHz-native via natural gapless auto-advance now shows ◆ BIT PERFECT 24bit/96kHz (previously blank); two already-exact 96kHz tracks back to back still gapless correctly with the badge, confirming no regression on the common path.

Inline comments:
In `@config/config_test.go`:
- Around line 450-472: Update TestLoadBitPerfect to isolate configuration
resolution by clearing CLIAMP_CONFIG_DIR and XDG_CONFIG_HOME or using
configPath() instead of constructing the path solely from HOME. Extend the
fixture with bitperfect_channels and convert the assertions into a table-driven
check covering BitPerfect, BitPerfectDevice, and BitPerfectChannels.
In `@config/config.go`:
- Around line 539-544: Update the bitperfect case in the configuration switch to
parse val with the same case-insensitive and quoted-boolean handling used by the
existing boolean settings, so true, True, TRUE, and quoted equivalents enable
cfg.BitPerfect while invalid values retain the established behavior.
In `@docs/audio-quality.md`:
- Around line 102-110: Update the BIT PERFECT documentation to state the actual
EQ bypass behavior: bands with gains strictly between -0.1 dB and +0.1 dB are
treated as bypassed, so exact 0 dB is not required. Keep the remaining
bit-perfect conditions unchanged.
In `@docs/cli.md`:
- Around line 125-127: Update the --bitperfect-device description in the CLI
documentation to state that the device is required for verified bit-perfect
output, while --bitperfect alone remains valid and falls back to normal output.
In `@main.go`:
- Around line 320-340: Extract the bit-perfect warning logic into a shared
helper and invoke it before the daemon early return so config.toml validation
also runs without a model; report the warning through applog.Warn/stderr in
daemon mode and through SetBitPerfectDeviceWarning after model creation. In the
helper, validate cfg.BitPerfectChannels before checking the device so invalid
channel layouts take precedence, while preserving the existing device and plughw
warnings.
In `@player/bitperfect_test.go`:
- Around line 30-60: Add an expected blocker substring to each table entry in
TestBitPerfectEvalBlockers, matching the precedence-ordered message produced by
eval for that modification. Replace the generic non-empty check with a
strings.Contains assertion against the expected substring, while retaining the
Active == false assertion.
In `@player/ffmpeg.go`:
- Around line 518-535: Update ffprobeField to execute ffprobe via
exec.CommandContext using an explicit timeout context, adding context/time
imports as needed. Ensure the timeout applies to every invocation and preserve
the existing output parsing and false-result handling.
In `@player/pipeline.go`:
- Around line 116-133: Update decodeRateFor and the associated probe helper used
by Preload to invoke ffprobe once while requesting both sample_rate and
bits_per_raw_sample, parsing the results by field name rather than positional
order. Reuse that single probe result for both the native rate and bit depth,
while preserving the existing fallback when probing fails.
In `@player/player.go`:
- Around line 128-134: Update the newBeepSink error path in the surrounding
player initialization method to wrap the failure with fmt.Errorf using %w and
context identifying the sink/backend and sample rate, while preserving the
existing return behavior.
- Around line 336-359: The bit-perfect deferral path currently records only
non-empty tp.path values, so pathless trackPipeline instances are rebuilt on
every tick. Update the deferPreload bookkeeping and its matching logic to use a
stable identifier that covers both path-based and pathless pipelines, while
preserving the existing PreloadYTDL pageURL behavior.
In `@player/sink_alsa_linux.go`:
- Around line 325-337: Update alsaSink.closeLocked to acquire stateMu before
broadcasting on stateCond, and release it afterward, so the stop-state change
and wakeup are synchronized with waitRunning’s condition check and wait
registration. Keep the existing close and completion-wait ordering otherwise
unchanged.
In `@player/sink_alsa_other.go`:
- Around line 1-3: Rename the platform fallback file from sink_alsa_other.go to
sink_alsa_stub.go, preserving its existing stub implementation and the !linux ||
!cgo build constraint.
In `@site/index.html`:
- Line 764: In the Audio Quality feature block, update the feature-icon content
from the ⚙ emoji to non-emoji text or an existing non-emoji symbol, while
leaving the surrounding markup and description unchanged.

Found by CodeRabbit on PR bjarneo#311. waitRunning holds stateMu across its "check stopped(dev)/suspended, then Wait()" sequence, but closeLocked's Broadcast() didn't take stateMu at all. sync.Cond.Broadcast() only wakes goroutines already parked in Wait() — it doesn't queue. If closeLocked's close(dev.stop) + Broadcast() lands in the narrow window after the writer's stopped(dev) check (false) but before it reaches Wait(), the broadcast is lost: the writer then calls Wait() and parks forever, dev.done never closes, and closeLocked's own <-dev.done (held under devMu) blocks forever — wedging every other sink method the UI tick loop calls, same deadlock class as the earlier handleFatal fix. Pre-existing bug from the original PR — the earlier snd_pcm_drop fix in this same function addressed a different blocking point (the writer stuck inside snd_pcm_writei), not this one (the writer stuck in sync.Cond.Wait()). Fix: take stateMu around the broadcast so the state change and the wakeup can't interleave with the waiter's condition check. Verified: go test -race passes, and a smoke test of rapid pause/resume cycles followed by quit completes cleanly with no hang. The race itself is timing-dependent and can't be reliably forced on demand. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Found by CodeRabbit on PR bjarneo#311. ffprobeField ran ffprobe with no deadline at all. path can be an HTTP(S) URL, and while the async wrappers (probeNativeRateAsync et al.) bound how long a caller *waits* on the result, the ffprobe process itself keeps running past that regardless. More directly: Player.Preload's bit-perfect pre-check (added earlier this session, for the wasteful-preload fix) calls probeNativeRate synchronously with whatever the next track's path is — which, unlike decodeRateFor's calls (verified local-file-only, both call sites gated by !isURL(path)), can genuinely be an HTTP/Navidrome URL with nothing else bounding it. A slow or wedged server there would hang that call indefinitely. Fix: exec.CommandContext with a 5s timeout, shared by every ffprobeField caller. Verified no regression on real bit-perfect playback. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Found by CodeRabbit on PR bjarneo#311. The project's own stated convention (CLAUDE.md) is that platform-specific fallback files use a *_stub.go suffix, not *_other.go — matching the existing mediactl/service_stub.go and player/audio_device_stub.go. There's a pre-existing player/device_other.go that also doesn't follow this, but that's unrelated legacy code outside this PR's scope; this only renames the file this PR itself introduced. No functional change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Follow-up to bb5a153 — the header comment still said the old filename; missed it in that commit because of a git add pathspec error. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Found by CodeRabbit on PR bjarneo#311. The warning block ran after run()'s daemon-mode early return, so a bad bitperfect_channels in config.toml (which reaches player.New, fails silently there, and falls back to the beep speaker) was completely invisible in --daemon mode — no TUI to show it in, and the check that would have logged something never ran at all. Also reordered the checks: the device-shape check was tested before the channel-validity check, so with the common case of an unset bitperfect_device, that case always won and masked a broken bitperfect_channels behind a less specific message — even though an invalid channel layout disables bit-perfect entirely on its own, a more fundamental problem than which device is configured. Extracted both checks into bitPerfectConfigWarning(cfg), shared by the daemon path (logged via applog.Warn + stderr) and the TUI path (SetBitPerfectDeviceWarning, already a no-op on ""). Verified live: same malformed bitperfect_channels + a valid hw: device now correctly reports the channels error (not the device one) in --daemon mode via stderr, where before this fix nothing showed at all. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Found by CodeRabbit on PR bjarneo#311. preloadPipeline keyed its deferral on tp.path, but not every trackPipeline construction site sets it — a custom URI streamer factory (e.g. Spotify) and the ffmpeg-decode fallback after a native decoder fails both leave it empty. A dropped pathless pipeline therefore never got recorded via deferPreload, so preloadStillDeferred's fast path could never match it, and Preload would rebuild the full pipeline from scratch on every UI tick for as long as the bit-perfect rate mismatch persisted — the exact wasteful-preload problem fixed earlier this session, just not covering these construction sites. Fix: thread the caller's own already-known path/pageURL into preloadPipeline explicitly instead of reading it back off tp.path. PreloadYTDL already passed pageURL as tp.path (per CodeRabbit, unaffected by the original gap) and is unchanged in behavior. Not verified live — reproducing needs a custom-URI source (Spotify) or a native-decode-fallback path hitting a bit-perfect rate mismatch during preload, neither easy to set up here. Verified correct by inspection (every trackPipeline construction site checked) and go test ./player/... passes. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Found by CodeRabbit on PR bjarneo#311. Said "all ten bands at 0 dB" but eqBypassed (player/eq.go) actually treats anything strictly within ±0.1 dB (eqFlatEpsilon) as flat, not exact zero — the biquad filters skip processing entirely inside that window. A band at +0.05 dB still earns the badge; the old wording implied it wouldn't. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…t the flag Found by CodeRabbit on PR bjarneo#311. "Required for --bitperfect" reads as a hard dependency for the flag to function at all, when read as its own table row — but --bitperfect alone still runs fine, falling back to normal (unverified) output when no device is set. The neighboring row already said this correctly; this row didn't. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…perfect_channels Found by CodeRabbit on PR bjarneo#311. TestLoadBitPerfect only overrode HOME, but appdir.Dir() checks CLIAMP_CONFIG_DIR and XDG_CONFIG_HOME first — in any environment with either set (confirmed live in this one), the test would silently read/write the real ~/.config/cliamp/config.toml instead of its temp dir. Verified by hash before/after running the fixed test with -count=1: identical, confirming it no longer touches the real file. Also added bitperfect_channels coverage, which had none at the config-loading layer (only at the player.ParseChannelLayout/ValidateChannels unit level) — table-driven across all three bit-perfect keys per CodeRabbit's suggestion. Uses configPath() (the same resolver Load() itself calls) instead of hand-joining HOME/.config/cliamp, so the test can't drift from Load()'s actual path resolution independently of this fix. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Found by CodeRabbit on PR bjarneo#311. val == "true" rejected True/TRUE/"true"; a typo there (e.g. capitalizing it, easy to do coming from another config format) silently produced BitPerfect = false with zero warning anywhere — bitPerfectConfigWarning only ever fires when BitPerfect ends up true. Pre-existing line from the original PR, not something this session added, but the fix directly matches this whole review's recurring theme (silent misconfiguration with no signal). Scoped to just bitperfect, which is what was flagged — a sibling key (compact) uses the identical val == "true" pattern but is unrelated to this PR, so left alone. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Found by CodeRabbit on PR bjarneo#311. eval() uses an ordered switch, so a precedence regression (e.g. the sourceBytes case moving above the rate-mismatch case) would still pass the old "Blocker != """ check as long as some message came out — the wrong one. Each row now asserts an expected substring instead. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Found by CodeRabbit on PR bjarneo#311. newBeepSink's failure returned raw, with no indication of which backend or rate failed — main.go's caller only prefixes "player: ". Matches CLAUDE.md's documented error-handling convention (wrap with fmt.Errorf("context: %w", err)), which the bit-perfect branch just above this already follows for its own failures. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Resolves the two conflicts GitHub reported on PR bjarneo#311 against bjarneo/cliamp:main, which has moved on since this branch was created (new Audiobookshelf provider, resume feature, and other work landed there independently): - config/config.go: Config struct — both sides added fields (ours: BitPerfect/BitPerfectDevice/BitPerfectChannels; upstream: Audiobookshelf, plus a Provider comment update). Kept both. - ui/model/playback_test.go: playbackFakeEngine — upstream made SetEQBand/EQBands stateful (backed by the eqBands field it also added, which merged in cleanly on its own); kept that and added back our BitPerfect() stub, needed for the player.Engine interface. Everything else merged automatically. make check and make build both pass with the full merged tree.
