Everything the 2026-08-03 haptics sweep filed against the pad-audio branch (P2 + P3). Four of them are the difference between a feature that works and one that fails silently. **B6 — nothing ever un-muted the coils.** Every rumble report asserts `HAPTICS_SELECT`, which is SDL's "disable audio haptics" bit: the firmware mutes the very voice coils the 0xD1 stream drives. No code anywhere cleared it again, so ONE rumble left tier-A haptics silent for the rest of that pad's life — no error, nothing in a log, and the host happily streaming into a muted actuator. `DsDevice.ds5AudioHapticsReport` is the documented undo (flag0 with both bits clear); written EP0-direct when the stream starts and again after a rumble stop while a stream is live, because the stop report re-mutes on its way past. **B10 — the desktop mix could reach a controller's coils.** Pad endpoints were filtered out inside `plan()` only. The watchdog, Follow mode and the parked default all go through `judge_default`, which classifies by NAME — and a pad endpoint is deliberately stamped "DualSense Wireless Controller" so games treat it as the pad's speaker. No name rule could ever catch one. It now refuses them by identity. **B27 — an out-of-range pad aliased onto a real slot.** The 0xCD plane's pad is the only u16 index and every consumer narrowed it with `as u8` on an assumption nothing enforced, so wire pad 256 steered pad 0's speaker volumes. Rejected at the decoder, which makes the narrowings lossless by construction. An existing test had pinned the bug in place, asserting that wire pad 513 round-trips; corrected, plus a test for the 256→0 alias specifically. **B7 — caps that arrived late were never announced.** The renderer commits the tier-A trade only once its sink opens, which is well past the arrival burst's two 100 ms ticks, and `set_pad_audio_caps` only stored an atomic. The client believed it had pad audio while the host emitted nothing. The input task now compares the live registry against what the last arrival actually carried and re-arms the burst itself — no new plumbing, and no extra traffic when nothing changed. The rest: `needs_aeb_kick` is finally ACTED on (R4) — a stored-but-not-served endpoint is declined rather than opened, because `AUTOCONVERTPCM` makes it succeed and mis-route; a failed provisioning no longer latches `PROVISIONED` for the process lifetime (R5), and `host_cap` retries, so a host that started while the audio stack was busy recovers at the next connect instead of the next reboot; the loopback init timeout reaps its thread instead of detaching one per ~2 s reopen (R6); kind-change restarts are bounded (R3) since the trigger is a client-sent arrival; the devtest uses the endpoint's real channel mask (B11) instead of letting wasapi derive 0x0F against the endpoint's 0x33; the render loop asks `is_session_ended()` rather than spinning at nice -16 (R12); short writes are counted and reported instead of dropping the tail in silence (R13); and a frame addressed to another pad is dropped before it can seed the gap tracker from a foreign sequence space (R14). Verified: punktfunk-host clippy -D warnings **0 on a real Windows box**; Linux/amd64 clippy 0 with **589 tests** (pf-client-core 114, pf-inject 101, punktfunk-client-android 20, punktfunk-core 345+1+8); Android :kit: tests + :app: compile green; fmt clean. Six punktfunk-host tests fail on that Windows box. FIVE fail identically on a tree with no pad-audio code at all (QUIC `Rejected(SetupFailed)` — the box's network environment); the sixth passes 3/3 in isolation and only failed under the parallel run, on a locally-bound ephemeral port. Neither is this change. Still owed: on-glass. This is a hardware feature and none of it has been on a real DualSense since the merge.
punktfunk — Android client (phone & TV)
The native Android app for streaming a punktfunk host to your phone, tablet, or Android TV. A Compose app that finds hosts on your network, pairs with a PIN, and streams at the display's own resolution — with hardware HEVC decode, HDR10, and controller support, built for both touch and the couch (D-pad / gamepad focus navigation).
Features
- Hardware decode — NDK
AMediaCodecHEVC →SurfaceView, including HDR10 (Main10 / BT.2020 PQ), with low-latency tuning and a live stats HUD. - Audio both ways — Opus + AAudio playback with a jitter ring, plus mic uplink to the host.
- Controller support — buttons + axes with rumble and HID feedback (lightbar / adaptive triggers); D-pad / gamepad focus navigation for TV and phone.
- Find hosts automatically — native mDNS discovery; first connect does a one-time SPAKE2 PIN pairing (or TOFU on trusted LANs), then reconnects on a Keystore-wrapped, pinned identity.
- Compose UI — Connect / Settings / Stream screens with Material You theming.
Built for arm64-v8a + armeabi-v7a + x86_64 — the 32-bit armeabi-v7a slice is what keeps the
app installable on the many 32-bit Google TV / Android TV streamers (Walmart onn. 4K, Chromecast with
Google TV, budget Amlogic boxes) that otherwise reject a 64-bit-only build as "not compatible".

How it's built — Rust-heavy
Kotlin can't import the cbindgen C header the way Swift can, so a native bridge is unavoidable. We
write it in Rust and link punktfunk-core directly — so the Android client reuses the Linux
client's orchestration (audio jitter ring, VK keymap inverse, latency/skew math, capture state
machine, trust logic) instead of re-porting it into Kotlin.

Build & run
Prerequisites: Android SDK + NDK r30 (30.0.14904198), platforms;android-37.0,
build-tools;37.0.0, cmake;3.22.1 (builds libopus); JDK 21 (AGP 9.2 runs on JDK 17–21, not
a newer default); Rust with rustup target add aarch64-linux-android armv7-linux-androideabi x86_64-linux-android and
cargo install cargo-ndk. Toolchain is pinned (AGP 9.2 · Gradle 9.4.1 · Kotlin 2.3.21 · Compose BOM
2026.05.01 · compileSdk 37 · minSdk 28).
Android Studio: open clients/android — it uses its bundled JBR 21, and the cargoNdk* task
builds the .so as part of the normal build.
CLI (point Gradle at JDK 21 if your machine default is newer):
export JAVA_HOME="$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 21)" # or your Temurin 21 path
cd clients/android
./gradlew :app:assembleDebug # cargo-ndk cross-compiles libpunktfunk_android.so first
./gradlew :app:installDebug # onto a running emulator/device
# emulators from env setup: emulator -avd pf_phone | emulator -avd pf_tv
The debug APK lands in app/build/outputs/apk/debug/. Launch it, pick a host, pair, and stream.
