A stock Moonlight client now gets video + full input + AUDIO from the
from-scratch GameStream host (verified live end-to-end on a macOS client).
Audio (audio.rs, audio/linux.rs, gamestream/audio.rs):
- Capture the default PipeWire sink's monitor (system output) as interleaved
f32 stereo @ 48kHz via stream.capture.sink, on its own thread.
- Opus-encode 5ms/240-sample stereo frames (RESTRICTED_LOWDELAY, CBR) and send
as GameStream RTP audio: 12-byte BE RTP_PACKET (packetType 97, seq+1/pkt,
timestamp += packetDuration, ssrc 0) on UDP 48000, after learning the client
endpoint from its port-learning ping.
- Encrypt the Opus payload with AES-128-CBC (PKCS7), key = launch rikey, IV =
BE32(rikeyid + seq) in [0..4]. Like the control stream, modern Moonlight
always decrypts audio regardless of the negotiated flags — plaintext makes it
log "Failed to decrypt audio packet" and play silence (diagnosed from the
client log). RTP header stays in the clear. Scheme cross-checked against
Sunshine stream.cpp/crypto.cpp + moonlight AudioStream.c.
- Pace each frame to its 5ms slot (PipeWire delivers ~1024-frame buffers) to
avoid bursts the client's jitter buffer hears as glitches. LUMEN_AUDIO_GAIN
applies optional linear gain for quiet sources.
- DESCRIBE SDP advertises the stereo Opus config (a=fmtp:97 surround-params).
Video (stream.rs): pace at a steady ≤60fps, re-encoding the last captured frame
when the compositor produces none. wlroots only emits on damage, so a static or
slow-updating desktop previously starved the client into a "network too slow"
abort; an unchanged frame costs a near-empty P-frame. Adds a non-blocking
Capturer::try_latest (portal drains to the freshest queued frame).
Misc: serialize pipewire init across the video + audio capture threads
(pwinit.rs, std::sync::Once) to avoid a concurrent pw_init race. Deps: opus,
cbc; libopus-dev in bootstrap-ubuntu.sh.
