Three faults that between them silence a wired DualSense. The trade was committed without asking whether the host can send pad audio at all. Against every released host — no HOST_CAP_PAD_AUDIO — the renderer claimed the interface, took the pad off wire rumble, and then rendered nothing, with `pad_haptics` defaulting on and no UI to turn it off. The capability is now checked before `sink::open`, so nothing is claimed and nothing is traded. Arming was unconditional, so a speaker-only setup took the motors away too. The speaker pair is channels 0/1 and no rumble write can disturb it; only the haptics lane arms now. And the suppression itself was wrong for the case that matters most: a title driving classic rumble and no haptics audio. Suppressing on "a stream is open" assumed the game's rumble rides the haptics mix, which for such a title is false — it renders no haptics audio at all, so the host's -60 dBFS gate emits nothing on 0xD1 and the pad was left with neither. Ownership is now decided by evidence: the coils belong to haptics only while haptics frames are actually arriving, and to wire rumble otherwise. Frames are stamped on arrival rather than after decode, so a decoder hiccup cannot hand the coils back mid-effect, and concealment does not count as evidence. Liveness is dropped at every teardown, because wire indices are recycled and a stale stamp would let a fresh pad inherit the previous occupant's ownership. Arbitrating on evidence rather than on a prediction about the hardware is deliberate, and the module doc now says why. It used to assert that the coils and the rumble motors are the same physical actuators — "a firmware constraint, not a preference". Nothing establishes that: it traces to one reverse-engineered comment in SDL, whose own modern path sets HAPTICS_SELECT alone with amplitude on ucEnableBits3, which reads more like an independent mute than a shared- actuator interlock. The combination that would settle it — rumble with HAPTICS_SELECT cleared — is emitted by no code anywhere, and nothing here writes it either. The evidence rule is correct under either hypothesis. The liveness clock is 1-based so that 0 stays an unambiguous "never stamped": without it a frame arriving in the process's first millisecond read as never-arrived and handed the coils back mid-effect. Its test caught that. Verified: clippy -p punktfunk-client-android --all-targets --locked -D warnings = 0; 15 tests pass. Owed: the desktop twin of the arbiter, and the coil restore — the Android stop write still asserts HAPTICS_SELECT with zero amplitude, where SDL's all-zero stop restores the audio path.
