ALSA improvements

  • Sample rate fallback when DAC doesn't support the requested rate
  • PipeWire sink suspended before ALSA Direct exclusive access to prevent DeviceBusy errors
  • ALSA Direct gapless playback enabled and defaulted to ON
  • Gapless restrictions removed for DAC Passthrough and ALSA Direct modes
  • Pre-check hardware rates via /proc/asound before attempting ALSA Direct

Smart quality downgrade

  • When hardware can't handle a sample rate, QBZ selects the best compatible quality automatically

Neon Visualizers

Three new Canvas 2D visualizers under Immersive > Neon:

Laser (NeonFlowPanel)

  • Neon laser beams that pulse, bend, and shift with bass/mid/high energy
  • Dual rendering layers for glow effect

Tunnel (TunnelFlowPanel)

  • Depth-tunnel with warped elliptical rings
  • Curved wisps flow outward from center
  • Watercolor cloud layer for atmosphere

Comet (CometFlowPanel)

  • Watercolor nebula with curved wisps, tunnel rings, and central abyss
  • Album art color extraction — samples artwork, derives 4 dominant hues + darkest color
  • Palette lerps smoothly on track change
  • Time-based hue mutation for continuous color evolution
  • Fades to near-black during silence; wisps, rings, and clouds scale with total energy
  • Corner vignettes using darkest album art color with bass-driven drift

Shared

  • All panels have per-panel FPS configuration
  • Dedicated submenu with fixed positioning and hover bridge

Immersive Mode

  • 3-mode background — Full (GPU shader), Lite (CSS blur), Off; configurable in settings
  • Auto-degrade — sustained low FPS triggers automatic downgrade with dismissible modal notification

  • Configurable ambient FPS — separate from panel FPS
  • Ambient background fixes — 8x8 downscale replaces CSS blur; dark artwork mood preserved; MIRRORED_REPEAT for texture edges
  • Composition profiles — GSK renderer selection and blur toggle per profile
