CPAL 0.18 devel with PipeWire enabled and PipeWire+PulseAudio running not working on FuriOS - Seems to block quietly on initialization

[marin-m]

Hello,

As I mentioned on #1145 I got two user reports with logs about this:

• No device selection on Flathub version (while compiled from source version is fine) marin-m/SongRec#296
• Not able to detect the mic on the FuriLabs FLX1s phone marin-m/SongRec#276

These reports seem to suggest that the call to cpal::default_host(); hangs and that CPAL hence doesn't even reach initialization (cf. marin-m/SongRec#296 (comment))

These reports also seem to suggest that CPAL 0.17 stable works on this platform

Is 078787e any different?

Thanks for helping me provide any debugging information; the more, the merrier.

I have no experience with Flatpak and while I could set it up myself to debug it, anyone who can help me do that would be of great help.

Actually it doesn't seem to be specific to Flatpak, just some user compiled from source using the version of SongRec distributed on crates.io (which uses stable CPAL and hence is not up-to-date) and it worked with that

Regarding the next version of SongRec: I will bump CPAL to the latest devel, and compile without PipeWire support on the Flatpak target I think + add compile and runtime flags to disable PipeWire support if needed

These targets are actually very interesting because I don't get to test them by default, and I would very much like to fix them so they'd work without the need to disable them ((or automatically fall through and certainly not hang).

I'll do some digging to see what I can come up with. Thanks for your help.

Please try #1194.
