The 5dc24a0 low-latency overhaul regressed badly on some phones. Every piece
of it — decoder ranking, per-SoC vendor keys, the async decode loop, pipeline
thread boosts, the ADPF max-performance bias, game-tagged AAudio, DSCP marking,
the Wi-Fi low-latency lock, HDMI ALLM and the forced TV mode switch — now rides
the "Low-latency mode (experimental)" toggle, default OFF. Off restores the
pre-overhaul pipeline byte-for-byte: the sync poll loop, the platform-default
decoder, and the original format keys (standard low-latency + blind Qualcomm
twin + priority=0 + operating-rate=MAX together).
- New pref key (low_latency_mode_experimental): the old key shipped default-ON,
so any install that ever saved settings persisted true — flipping the default
under the old key would leave exactly the regressed devices stuck on.
- DSCP is applied at socket creation, so the toggle reaches the transport via
NativeBridge.nativeSetLowLatencyMode → transport::set_dscp_default, called in
the connect choke point before nativeConnect; the core DSCP default reverts
to off everywhere.
- nativeStartAudio(handle, lowLatencyMode) gates AAudio usage=Game.
- VideoDecoders.pickDecoder now skips `.secure` decoder twins and decoders that
require FEATURE_SecurePlayback: they need a secure surface, and a secure twin
could out-score its plain sibling (only it advertising FEATURE_LowLatency),
which black-screens a clear stream.
