[PATCH BlueZ] avrcp: keep track of last volume, and use as transport init_volume

[PATCH BlueZ] avrcp: keep track of last volume, and use as transport init_volume

[Pauli Virtanen]

Some devices may send AVRCP VolumeChanged notification before AVDTP
SetConfiguration occurs, and not send another until a hardware button on
the device is pressed. If a media_player is registered to BlueZ, the
volume from the event is stored on the player, and used as init_volume
for new transports.  However, if no media_player is registered,
transports are created with volume missing.

If that occurs, the DBus "Volume" attribute on transports will be
missing until a hardware button is pressed.  Consequently, applications
cannot get or set volume, even though it is actually possible.

Address this by keeping track of the last device volume set in AVRCP
session. If no media_player is registered, use that as the init_volume
for new transports.  This has a similar effect as if a dummy media
player was registered.

This fixes AVRCP absolute volume not being available on some headphones
on Pipewire & Pulseaudio until HW button press.

We can probably keep this short and just call it volume.

So if I understand this right we are going to cache the volume here
since media_transport_update_device_volume may not have a transport
yet? If that is the case we probably need to be checking if there is a
transport or not beforehand instead of doing this blindly.

Let's have it as avrcp_get_volume so it is symmetric to avrcp_set_volume.

I wonder if we shouldn't be better to move the call to
avrcp_get_volume inside media_player_get_device_volume so it does the
fallback automatically if there is no volume set.

Yes, so that avrcp volume received previously is exhibited in
transports created next. I now see that this is the same issue as in
4b6153b0501c ("audio/transport: supply volume on transport init"), but
in the case when there are no local players registered, and the fix
there does not work.

Currently, if there is a local player registered, the current volume is
cached in the player volume whether there are transports or not.
Caching always in struct avrcp would then make the zero-players case
the same. I don't immediately see something incorrect.

Albeit, this probably should be only done for BlueZ as CT, so shouldn't
cache in avrcp_handle_set_absolute_volume. That could be a minimal v2?

***

There's also something confusing in the code in current master
branch: why are avrcp_handle_set_volume and avrcp_volume_changed
setting the volume on local target->player, which I thought is a BlueZ
as TG thing? 

I see that df7d3fa50023 ("audio/avrcp: Always update transport volume
regardless of player") moved most of what player->set_volume does to
the callbacks, and the player volumes seem to be currently used only to
provide initial volume for transports. The volume probably should be
stored elsewhere than in local players?

In fact, it causes problems because there's just a single player that
has long lifetime: BlueZ sink/TG use as the initial volume, the volume
of a previously connected different remote device sink/TG. Also, having
multiple remote device TG/sink makes the initial volumes conflict. So
there seems to be something to fix (separate patch?).

Caching in struct avrcp session doesn't have these problems, but
df7d3fa50023 mentions there's some issue with avrcp session appearing
late. I'll need to think a bit how to fix this.
