在 Ubuntu 等使用了 GNOME 桌面系统的 Linux 系统中，通过 设置 应用的 声音 面板设置系统的音频相关配置，如下图：

音频设置可以设置的音频选项主要有如下这些：

• 系统音量：默认不允许将音量提高到 100% 以上，但有一个开关，当开关打开时，允许将音量提高到 100% 以上。当拖动条拖到最左边时，执行静音操作。
• 音量级别：当拖动条拖到最左边时，执行静音操作。
• 音频播放输出设置。
  • 默认输出设备：从系统支持的多个输出设备中选择默认的输出设备。
  • 配置。
  • 均衡。
• 音频录制输入设置。
  • 默认输入设备：从系统支持的多个输入设备中选择默认的输入设备。
  • 输入音量：当拖动条拖到最左边时，执行静音操作。
• 警报声设置：设置警报声，选中对应警报声的按钮，对应警报声将播放出来，让人可以听一下实际的效果。

Linux GNOME 桌面系统的 设置 应用，它的可执行程序名为 gnome-control-center，其路径通常为 /usr/bin/gnome-control-center。GitHub 上有 GNOME Settings gnome-control-center 程序源码的只读镜像，GNOME Settings@GitHb。

gnome-control-center 与众多 GNOME 项目一样，通过 meson + ninja 的方式构建。将 gnome-control-center 的源码克隆到本地，切换到合适的分支，安装 meson 和 ninja 构建工具，并解决依赖问题之后，构建 gnome-control-center 的过程比较简单。

Ubuntu 上，meson 和 ninja 构建工具可以通过 apt 安装，安装方法如下：

data$ sudo apt install meson ninja-build

较新版本的 gnome-control-center 源码可能对 meson 的版本也有更高的要求。可通过 pip 工具安装指定版本的 meson。如安装 1.3.2 版的 meson：

data$ pip3 install meson==1.3.2

构建和本地环境所用 GNOME 版本相同的 GNOME Settings，依赖问题相对比较容易解决。如笔者本地环境 Ubuntu 20.04 的 GNOME 版本为 3.36.8，选择的 GNOME Settings 版本为 gnome-3-36。

GNOME Settings 依赖两个模块，如它的 .gitmodules 文件所描述的那样：

[submodule "subprojects/gvc"]path = subprojects/gvcurl = https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libgnome-volume-control.git
[submodule "subprojects/libhandy"]path = subprojects/libhandyurl = https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/libhandy.git

如果本地网络访问上面的项目不是很方便，也可以从 GitHub 克隆对应项目的代码到指定位置。

为了加速依赖问题的处理，可以搜索 GNOME Settings 及其子项目的 meson.build 构建配置文件中的 dependency 语句，集中安装这些依赖。如：

gnome-control-center$ find . | grep meson.build  | xargs grep "dependency('"

data$ cd gnome-control-center
gnome-control-center$ git checkout -t origin/gnome-3-36
gnome-control-center$ mkdir build
gnome-control-center$ cd build
build$ meson ..
build$ ninja -C .

构建生成的可执行文件位于 ./build/shell/gnome-control-center。

GNOME Settings 应用的 声音 面板相关代码位于 gnome-control-center/panels/sound，其中 cc-sound-panel.c 为 声音 面板主入口文件。声音 面板用 CcSoundPanel 对象描述，cc_sound_panel_init() 为这个对象的初始化函数。gnome-control-center/shell/cc-panel-loader.c 文件中定义了各个设置功能面板与其实现对象类型之间的映射关系，如：

};

CcSoundPanel 对象在 GNOME Settings 应用初始化各个设置功能面板时创建，如（去掉调用栈中 glib libgobject 相关的项）：

cc_sound_panel_init() 函数定义 (位于 gnome-control-center/panels/sound/cc-sound-panel.c) 如下：

static void
cc_sound_panel_init (CcSoundPanel *self)
{g_resources_register (cc_sound_get_resource ());gtk_widget_init_template (GTK_WIDGET (self));gtk_list_box_set_header_func (self->input_list_box,cc_list_box_update_header_func,NULL, NULL);gtk_list_box_set_header_func (self->output_list_box,cc_list_box_update_header_func,NULL, NULL);gtk_list_box_set_header_func (GTK_LIST_BOX (self->stream_list_box),cc_list_box_update_header_func,NULL, NULL);self->sound_settings = g_settings_new (KEY_SOUNDS_SCHEMA);g_signal_connect_object (self->sound_settings,"changed::allow-volume-above-100-percent",G_CALLBACK (allow_amplified_changed_cb),self,G_CONNECT_SWAPPED);allow_amplified_changed_cb (self);self->mixer_control = gvc_mixer_control_new ("GNOME Settings");gvc_mixer_control_open (self->mixer_control);cc_stream_list_box_set_mixer_control (self->stream_list_box, self->mixer_control);cc_volume_slider_set_mixer_control (self->input_volume_slider, self->mixer_control);cc_volume_slider_set_mixer_control (self->output_volume_slider, self->mixer_control);cc_subwoofer_slider_set_mixer_control (self->subwoofer_slider, self->mixer_control);cc_device_combo_box_set_mixer_control (self->input_device_combo_box, self->mixer_control, FALSE);cc_device_combo_box_set_mixer_control (self->output_device_combo_box, self->mixer_control, TRUE);g_signal_connect_object (self->mixer_control,"active-output-update",G_CALLBACK (output_device_update_cb),self,G_CONNECT_SWAPPED);g_signal_connect_object (self->mixer_control,"active-input-update",G_CALLBACK (input_device_update_cb),self,G_CONNECT_SWAPPED);
}

GNOME Settings 应用的 声音 面板相关代码实现 UI 显示和用户控制逻辑，实际的音频相关设置通过另外一个库来实现，即 libgnome-volume-control，简称 gvc，gvc 在 GitHub 的只读仓库为 libgnome-volume-control。

gvc 的核心是 GvcMixerControl 对象，它获取系统中音频设备相关的各项信息，用以创建 gvc 的其它各种对象，当系统中音频设备状态改变时，GvcMixerControl 对象首先得到通知，并进而将信息传递给 GNOME Settings 应用的 声音 面板相关逻辑。设置默认输出设备和输入设备的动作，也由 GvcMixerControl 对象执行。

cc_sound_panel_init() 函数中，调用 gvc_mixer_control_new() 创建 GvcMixerControl 对象，并调用 gvc_mixer_control_open() 执行其 open 操作。gvc 实际是对 pulseaudio 的封装。GvcMixerControl 对象的创建过程实现 (位于 gvc/gvc-mixer-control.c) 如下：

static void
gvc_mixer_new_pa_context (GvcMixerControl *self)
{pa_proplist     *proplist;g_return_if_fail (self);g_return_if_fail (!self->priv->pa_context);proplist = pa_proplist_new ();pa_proplist_sets (proplist,PA_PROP_APPLICATION_NAME,self->priv->name);pa_proplist_sets (proplist,PA_PROP_APPLICATION_ID,"org.gnome.VolumeControl");pa_proplist_sets (proplist,PA_PROP_APPLICATION_ICON_NAME,"multimedia-volume-control");pa_proplist_sets (proplist,PA_PROP_APPLICATION_VERSION,PACKAGE_VERSION);g_warning ("mixer control create context with name %s", self->priv->name);self->priv->pa_context = pa_context_new_with_proplist (self->priv->pa_api, NULL, proplist);pa_proplist_free (proplist);g_assert (self->priv->pa_context);
}. . . . . .

{GObject *control;g_warning ("gvc mixer control: %s", name);control = g_object_new (GVC_TYPE_MIXER_CONTROL,"name", name,NULL);return GVC_MIXER_CONTROL (control);
}

GvcMixerControl 对象创建时创建或获得调用 pulseaudio 接口所需的基础对象，主要包括 pa_mainloop、pa_mainloop_api 和 pa_context 对象。gvc 预设其将被应用于 GLib 应用程序中，因而pa_mainloop 和 pa_mainloop_api 对象通过 pa_glib_mainloop_new() 和 pa_glib_mainloop_get_api() 创建和获取，这与许多 pulseaudio 客户端应用程序通过 pa_mainloop_new() 及 pa_mainloop_get_api() 创建和获取 pa_mainloop 及 pa_mainloop_api 对象不同。

gvc_mixer_control_open() 函数定义 (位于 gvc/gvc-mixer-control.c) 如下：

static void
gvc_mixer_control_ready (GvcMixerControl *control)
{pa_operation *o;pa_context_set_subscribe_callback (control->priv->pa_context,_pa_context_subscribe_cb,control);o = pa_context_subscribe (control->priv->pa_context,(pa_subscription_mask_t)(PA_SUBSCRIPTION_MASK_SINK|PA_SUBSCRIPTION_MASK_SOURCE|PA_SUBSCRIPTION_MASK_SINK_INPUT|PA_SUBSCRIPTION_MASK_SOURCE_OUTPUT|PA_SUBSCRIPTION_MASK_CLIENT|PA_SUBSCRIPTION_MASK_SERVER|PA_SUBSCRIPTION_MASK_CARD),NULL,NULL);if (o == NULL) {g_warning ("pa_context_subscribe() failed");return;}pa_operation_unref (o);req_update_server_info (control, -1);req_update_card (control, -1);req_update_client_info (control, -1);req_update_sink_info (control, -1);req_update_source_info (control, -1);req_update_sink_input_info (control, -1);req_update_source_output_info (control, -1);control->priv->server_protocol_version = pa_context_get_server_protocol_version (control->priv->pa_context);control->priv->n_outstanding = 6;/* This call is not always supported */o = pa_ext_stream_restore_read (control->priv->pa_context,_pa_ext_stream_restore_read_cb,control);if (o != NULL) {pa_operation_unref (o);control->priv->n_outstanding++;pa_ext_stream_restore_set_subscribe_cb (control->priv->pa_context,_pa_ext_stream_restore_subscribe_cb,control);o = pa_ext_stream_restore_subscribe (control->priv->pa_context,1,NULL,NULL);if (o != NULL) {pa_operation_unref (o);}} else {g_debug ("Failed to initialized stream_restore extension: %s",pa_strerror (pa_context_errno (control->priv->pa_context)));}
}. . . . . .

}

gvc_mixer_control_open() 为 pa_context 设置状态回调，并建立与 pulseaudio 服务之间的连接。连接建立成功，完成必要的握手后，状态回调被调用。GvcMixerControl 对象在状态回调中订阅 pulseaudio 的 sink、source、sink_input、source_output、client、server、card 和 ext stream restore 等信息，并调用如下这些函数由 pulseaduio 获取这些相关信息：

• pa_context_get_server_info()
• pa_context_get_card_info_list()/pa_context_get_card_info_by_index()
• pa_context_get_client_info_list()/pa_context_get_client_info()
• pa_context_get_sink_info_list()/pa_context_get_sink_info_by_index()
• pa_context_get_source_info_list()/pa_context_get_source_info_by_index()
• pa_context_get_sink_input_info_list()/pa_context_get_sink_input_info()
• pa_context_get_source_output_info_list()/pa_context_get_source_output_info()
• pa_ext_stream_restore_read()/pa_ext_stream_restore_set_subscribe_cb()/pa_ext_stream_restore_subscribe()

获得的 sink 信息由 pa_sink_info 结构描述，被用于创建 GvcMixerSink 对象。获得的 source 信息由 pa_source_info 结构描述，被用于创建 GvcMixerSource 对象。获得的 sink_input 信息由 pa_sink_input_info 结构描述，被用于创建 GvcMixerSinkInput 对象。获得的 source_output 信息由 pa_source_output_info 结构描述，被用于创建 GvcMixerSourceOutput 对象。创建的这些对象将被添加到 GvcMixerControl 对象的对应类型的 stream 的哈希表中，并被添加到它的 all_streams 哈希表中。

sink 和 source 还可能具有 ports 信息，sink 的 port 信息用 pa_sink_port_info 结构描述，source 的 port 信息用 pa_source_port_info 结构描述，各个 port 的信息被用来创建 GvcMixerStreamPort 对象。

当 sink 和 source 没有 ports 信息时，则基于 stream 创建 GvcMixerUIDevice 对象。根据 stream 是 source 还是 sink，创建的 GvcMixerUIDevice 对象被添加到 GvcMixerControl 对象的 ui_inputs 或 ui_outputs 哈希表中。

当 sink 和 source 有 ports 信息时，这些 port 信息用来匹配基于 card 中 port 信息创建的 GvcMixerUIDevice 对象。在 update_source()/update_sink() -> sync_devices() 中，遍历 port 信息，并调用 match_stream_with_devices() 函数，根据 port、card id 等信息，匹配 stream 和 GvcMixerUIDevice 对象，即设置 GvcMixerUIDevice 对象的 stream_id 字段。sink 和 source 有 ports 信息时，需要先获取 card 信息，否则它们要匹配的 GvcMixerUIDevice 对象还未创建，后面修改默认输出输入设备的操作将无法正常工作。

client 信息由 pa_client_info 结构描述，包含连接到 pulseaudio 服务的应用程序相关的信息，如：

Updating client: index=0 name='Login Session 2'
Updating client: index=4 name='XSMP Session on gnome-session as 10628215e953f352f171755279469869900000017280061'
Updating client: index=5 name='GNOME Shell Volume Control'
Updating client: index=6 name='GNOME Volume Control Media Keys'
Updating client: index=7 name='更新通知'
Updating client: index=8 name='终端'
Updating client: index=9 name='Eclipse'
Updating client: index=11 name='Linux volume control'

在通过 pa_context_new_with_proplist() 创建 pa_context 对象时，传入的 pa_proplist 参数添加了 PA_PROP_APPLICATION_NAME 属性，这里显示的各个客户端名称即为各个应用程序传给 pulseaudio 服务的这个应用名称。

server 信息由 pa_server_info 结构描述，包含主机和 pulseaudio 服务本身的信息，一般来说，需要特别关注的是默认 source 和 sink 信息，如：

get server info
update server user_name plgabc, host_name plgabcvm, server_version 13.99.1, server_name pulseaudio
update server default_source_name alsa_input.pci-0000_00_05.0.analog-stereo
update server default_sink_name alsa_output.pci-0000_00_05.0.analog-surround-40

card 包含声卡相关的各种信息，如：

Updating card alsa_card.pci-0000_00_05.0 (index: 0 driver: module-alsa-card.c):Profile 'input:analog-stereo': 1 sources 0 sinksProfile 'output:analog-stereo': 0 sources 1 sinksProfile 'output:analog-stereo+input:analog-stereo': 1 sources 1 sinksProfile 'output:analog-surround-21': 0 sources 1 sinksProfile 'output:analog-surround-21+input:analog-stereo': 1 sources 1 sinksProfile 'output:analog-surround-40': 0 sources 1 sinksProfile 'output:analog-surround-40+input:analog-stereo': 1 sources 1 sinks (Current)Profile 'output:analog-surround-41': 0 sources 1 sinksProfile 'output:analog-surround-41+input:analog-stereo': 1 sources 1 sinksProfile 'output:analog-surround-50': 0 sources 1 sinksProfile 'output:analog-surround-50+input:analog-stereo': 1 sources 1 sinksProfile 'output:analog-surround-51': 0 sources 1 sinksProfile 'output:analog-surround-51+input:analog-stereo': 1 sources 1 sinksProfile 'off': 0 sources 0 sinksProperty: 'alsa.card' = '0'Property: 'alsa.card_name' = 'Intel 82801AA-ICH'Property: 'alsa.long_card_name' = 'Intel 82801AA-ICH with AD1980 at irq 21'Property: 'alsa.driver_name' = 'snd_intel8x0'Property: 'device.bus_path' = 'pci-0000:00:05.0'Property: 'sysfs.path' = '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:05.0/sound/card0'Property: 'device.bus' = 'pci'Property: 'device.vendor.id' = '8086'Property: 'device.vendor.name' = 'Intel Corporation'Property: 'device.product.id' = '2415'Property: 'device.product.name' = '82801AA AC'97 Audio Controller'Property: 'device.form_factor' = 'internal'Property: 'device.string' = '0'Property: 'device.description' = '内置音频'Property: 'module-udev-detect.discovered' = '1'Property: 'device.icon_name' = 'audio-card-pci'n_ports 7Port 'analog-input-mic;input-microphone-1': description 话筒 / 话筒 1Port 'analog-input-mic;input-microphone-2': description 话筒 / 话筒 2Port 'analog-input-linein': description 输入插孔Port 'analog-input-aux': description 模拟输入Port 'analog-input-video': description 视频Port 'analog-output;output-amplifier-on': description 模拟输出 / 功放Port 'analog-output;output-amplifier-off': description 模拟输出 / 无功放

这里包含许多信息，它们被用来创建 GvcMixerCard 对象。其中 profile 信息，即我们在 GNOME Settings 应用的 声音 -> 输出 -> 配置 中看到的那些，它们被用来创建 GvcMixerCardProfile 对象。

port 信息被用来创建 GvcMixerCardPort 对象。GvcMixerCardPort 对象进一步被用来创建 GvcMixerUIDevice 对象。根据 port 的类型，创建的 GvcMixerUIDevice 对象被添加到 GvcMixerControl 对象的 ui_outputs 或 ui_inputs 哈希表中。card 的 ports 信息与上面看到的 sink 和 source 的 ports 信息是相同的。

我们在 GNOME Settings 应用的 声音 -> 输出 -> 输出设备 和 声音 -> 输入 -> 输入设备 中看到的那些音频设备项对应 GvcMixerUIDevice 对象。GvcMixerUIDevice 对象有两种类型，一种是 stream 型，即获取到 sink 和 source 信息，通过 update_source()/update_sink() -> sync_devices()，在 stream 没有 port 信息时，基于 stream 创建。另一种是 port 型，即基于 card 的 port 信息创建。

GvcMixerCardProfile 和 GvcMixerCardPort 对象被保存在 GvcMixerCard 对象对应的列表中。GvcMixerCard 对象会被添加到 GvcMixerControl 对象的 cards 哈希表中。

ext stream restore 信息由 pa_ext_stream_restore_info 结构描述，它们被用于创建 GvcMixerEventRole 对象 (通过 gvc_mixer_event_role_new() 函数)，创建的对象将被添加到 GvcMixerControl 对象的 all_streams 哈希表中。

gvc 的这些对象具有如下这样的继承层次结构：

gvc 的这些对象具有如下的关系：

Linux 系统音频设置相关信息的获取和展示，大体如上所述，即向 pulseaudio 服务订阅各种信息，在 pulseaudio 的回调中，读取它们，并通过 GNOME Settings 应用的 声音 面板各个控件展示出来。

对于音频的设置，同样通过 pulseaudio 的接口实现。音频相关的设置，主要包括如下几项：

• 音量
• 默认输出设备
• 默认输入设备
• 配置

对于音量设置，当音量没有调到最小时，设置音量值，当音量调到了最小，则设置流静音。针对不同类型的流，调用不同的 pulseaudio 接口来执行。

}static gboolean

{pa_operation *o;guint         index;pa_context   *context;index = gvc_mixer_stream_get_index (stream);context = gvc_mixer_stream_get_pa_context (stream);o = pa_context_set_source_output_mute (context,index,is_muted,NULL,NULL);if (o == NULL) {g_warning ("pa_context_set_source_output_mute_by_index() failed");return FALSE;}pa_operation_unref(o);return TRUE;

}

GNOME Settings 应用的 声音 面板中，看到的最上面的 系统音量 用于设置输出音量，它的调整通过 GvcMixerSink 的函数实现；看到的 输入 中的 音量，用于设置录音音量，它的调整通过 GvcMixerSource 的函数实现。

GNOME Settings 应用的 声音 面板中，看到的 输出 中的 均衡、淡出 和 重低音 设置，它们的调整也通过 GvcMixerSink 的音量调节函数实现。

GNOME Settings 应用的 声音 面板中，看到的 音量级别 中的 系统声音 设置，它们的调整通过 GvcMixerEventRole 的音量调节函数实现。

设置默认输出设备的调用过程可能像下面这样：

#0  gvc_mixer_sink_change_portPython Exception <class 'ValueError'> Variable 'static_fundamental_type_nodes' not found.: (stream=, port=0x555556b7a570 "\005") at ../subprojects/gvc/gvc-mixer-sink.c:109

UI 层调用 GvcMixerControl 对象的 gvc_mixer_control_change_output() 函数执行操作，这个函数定义如下：

void
gvc_mixer_control_change_output (GvcMixerControl *control,GvcMixerUIDevice* output)
{GvcMixerStream           *stream;GvcMixerStream           *default_stream;const GvcMixerStreamPort *active_port;const gchar              *output_port;g_return_if_fail (GVC_IS_MIXER_CONTROL (control));g_return_if_fail (GVC_IS_MIXER_UI_DEVICE (output));g_debug ("control change output");stream = gvc_mixer_control_get_stream_from_device (control, output);if (stream == NULL) {gvc_mixer_control_change_profile_on_selected_device (control,output, NULL);return;}if (!gvc_mixer_ui_device_has_ports (output)) {g_debug ("Did we try to move to a software/bluetooth sink ?");if (gvc_mixer_control_set_default_sink (control, stream)) {/* sink change was successful,  update the UI.*/g_signal_emit (G_OBJECT (control),signals[ACTIVE_OUTPUT_UPDATE],0,gvc_mixer_ui_device_get_id (output));}else {g_warning ("Failed to set default sink with stream from output %s",gvc_mixer_ui_device_get_description (output));}return;}active_port = gvc_mixer_stream_get_port (stream);output_port = gvc_mixer_ui_device_get_port (output);/* First ensure the correct port is active on the sink */if (g_strcmp0 (active_port->port, output_port) != 0) {g_debug ("Port change, switch to = %s", output_port);if (gvc_mixer_stream_change_port (stream, output_port) == FALSE) {g_warning ("Could not change port !");return;}}default_stream = gvc_mixer_control_get_default_sink (control);/* Finally if we are not on the correct stream, swap over. */if (stream != default_stream) {GvcMixerUIDevice* device;g_debug ("Attempting to swap over to stream %s ",gvc_mixer_stream_get_description (stream));if (gvc_mixer_control_set_default_sink (control, stream)) {device = gvc_mixer_control_lookup_device_from_stream (control, stream);g_signal_emit (G_OBJECT (control),signals[ACTIVE_OUTPUT_UPDATE],0,gvc_mixer_ui_device_get_id (device));} else {/* If the move failed for some reason reset the UI. */device = gvc_mixer_control_lookup_device_from_stream (control, default_stream);g_signal_emit (G_OBJECT (control),signals[ACTIVE_OUTPUT_UPDATE],0,gvc_mixer_ui_device_get_id (device));}}
}

前面我们看到，GvcMixerUIDevice 对象有 stream 型和 port 型之分。如果设置的新的默认输出设备为 stream 型，则调用 gvc_mixer_control_set_default_sink() 函数切换默认的输出 stream，如：

static void
gvc_mixer_control_stream_restore_cb (pa_context *c,GvcMixerStream *new_stream,const pa_ext_stream_restore_info *info,GvcMixerControl *control)
{pa_operation *o;pa_ext_stream_restore_info new_info;if (new_stream == NULL)return;new_info.name = info->name;new_info.channel_map = info->channel_map;new_info.volume = info->volume;new_info.mute = info->mute;new_info.device = gvc_mixer_stream_get_name (new_stream);o = pa_ext_stream_restore_write (control->priv->pa_context,PA_UPDATE_REPLACE,&new_info, 1,TRUE, NULL, NULL);if (o == NULL) {g_warning ("pa_ext_stream_restore_write() failed: %s",pa_strerror (pa_context_errno (control->priv->pa_context)));return;}g_debug ("Changed default device for %s to %s", info->name, new_info.device);pa_operation_unref (o);
}static void
gvc_mixer_control_stream_restore_sink_cb (pa_context *c,const pa_ext_stream_restore_info *info,int eol,void *userdata)
{GvcMixerControl *control = (GvcMixerControl *) userdata;if (eol || info == NULL || !g_str_has_prefix(info->name, "sink-input-by"))return;gvc_mixer_control_stream_restore_cb (c, control->priv->new_default_sink_stream, info, control);
}. . . . . .
gboolean
gvc_mixer_control_set_default_sink (GvcMixerControl *control,GvcMixerStream  *stream)
{pa_operation *o;g_return_val_if_fail (GVC_IS_MIXER_CONTROL (control), FALSE);g_return_val_if_fail (GVC_IS_MIXER_STREAM (stream), FALSE);g_debug ("about to set default sink on server");o = pa_context_set_default_sink (control->priv->pa_context,gvc_mixer_stream_get_name (stream),NULL,NULL);if (o == NULL) {g_warning ("pa_context_set_default_sink() failed: %s",pa_strerror (pa_context_errno (control->priv->pa_context)));return FALSE;}pa_operation_unref (o);control->priv->new_default_sink_stream = stream;g_object_add_weak_pointer (G_OBJECT (stream), (gpointer *) &control->priv->new_default_sink_stream);o = pa_ext_stream_restore_read (control->priv->pa_context,gvc_mixer_control_stream_restore_sink_cb,control);if (o == NULL) {g_warning ("pa_ext_stream_restore_read() failed: %s",pa_strerror (pa_context_errno (control->priv->pa_context)));return FALSE;}pa_operation_unref (o);return TRUE;
}

如果设置的新的默认输出设备为 port 型，则首先通过 GvcMixerStream 对象的 gvc_mixer_stream_change_port() 函数设置 sink stream 的 port，如在 GvcMixerSink 中的 gvc_mixer_sink_change_port() 函数：

static gboolean
gvc_mixer_sink_change_port (GvcMixerStream *stream,const char     *port)
{pa_operation *o;guint         index;pa_context   *context;index = gvc_mixer_stream_get_index (stream);context = gvc_mixer_stream_get_pa_context (stream);o = pa_context_set_sink_port_by_index (context,index,port,NULL,NULL);if (o == NULL) {g_warning ("pa_context_set_sink_port_by_index() failed: %s", pa_strerror(pa_context_errno(context)));return FALSE;}pa_operation_unref(o);return TRUE;
}

随后，如果新设置的输出设备的 stream 与之前的不同，则也会调用 gvc_mixer_control_set_default_sink() 函数切换默认的输出 stream。

设置默认输入设备的过程与设置默认输出设备的过程类似，主要通过 GvcMixerControl 对象的 gvc_mixer_control_change_input() 函数执行，这个函数定义如下：

void
gvc_mixer_control_change_input (GvcMixerControl *control,GvcMixerUIDevice* input)
{GvcMixerStream           *stream;GvcMixerStream           *default_stream;const GvcMixerStreamPort *active_port;const gchar              *input_port;g_return_if_fail (GVC_IS_MIXER_CONTROL (control));g_return_if_fail (GVC_IS_MIXER_UI_DEVICE (input));stream = gvc_mixer_control_get_stream_from_device (control, input);if (stream == NULL) {gvc_mixer_control_change_profile_on_selected_device (control,input, NULL);return;}if (!gvc_mixer_ui_device_has_ports (input)) {g_debug ("Did we try to move to a software/bluetooth source ?");if (! gvc_mixer_control_set_default_source (control, stream)) {g_warning ("Failed to set default source with stream from input %s",gvc_mixer_ui_device_get_description (input));}return;}active_port = gvc_mixer_stream_get_port (stream);input_port = gvc_mixer_ui_device_get_port (input);/* First ensure the correct port is active on the sink */if (g_strcmp0 (active_port->port, input_port) != 0) {g_debug ("Port change, switch to = %s", input_port);if (gvc_mixer_stream_change_port (stream, input_port) == FALSE) {g_warning ("Could not change port!");return;}}default_stream = gvc_mixer_control_get_default_source (control);/* Finally if we are not on the correct stream, swap over. */if (stream != default_stream) {g_debug ("change-input - attempting to swap over to stream %s",gvc_mixer_stream_get_description (stream));gvc_mixer_control_set_default_source (control, stream);}
}

对于新的默认输入设备为 stream 型的，调用 gvc_mixer_control_set_default_source() 函数切换默认的输入 stream，如：

static void
gvc_mixer_control_stream_restore_cb (pa_context *c,GvcMixerStream *new_stream,const pa_ext_stream_restore_info *info,GvcMixerControl *control)
{pa_operation *o;pa_ext_stream_restore_info new_info;if (new_stream == NULL)return;new_info.name = info->name;new_info.channel_map = info->channel_map;new_info.volume = info->volume;new_info.mute = info->mute;new_info.device = gvc_mixer_stream_get_name (new_stream);o = pa_ext_stream_restore_write (control->priv->pa_context,PA_UPDATE_REPLACE,&new_info, 1,TRUE, NULL, NULL);if (o == NULL) {g_warning ("pa_ext_stream_restore_write() failed: %s",pa_strerror (pa_context_errno (control->priv->pa_context)));return;}g_debug ("Changed default device for %s to %s", info->name, new_info.device);pa_operation_unref (o);
}. . . . . .
static void
gvc_mixer_control_stream_restore_source_cb (pa_context *c,const pa_ext_stream_restore_info *info,int eol,void *userdata)
{GvcMixerControl *control = (GvcMixerControl *) userdata;if (eol || info == NULL || !g_str_has_prefix(info->name, "source-output-by"))return;gvc_mixer_control_stream_restore_cb (c, control->priv->new_default_source_stream, info, control);
}. . . . . .
gboolean
gvc_mixer_control_set_default_source (GvcMixerControl *control,GvcMixerStream  *stream)
{GvcMixerUIDevice* input;pa_operation *o;g_return_val_if_fail (GVC_IS_MIXER_CONTROL (control), FALSE);g_return_val_if_fail (GVC_IS_MIXER_STREAM (stream), FALSE);o = pa_context_set_default_source (control->priv->pa_context,gvc_mixer_stream_get_name (stream),NULL,NULL);if (o == NULL) {g_warning ("pa_context_set_default_source() failed");return FALSE;}pa_operation_unref (o);control->priv->new_default_source_stream = stream;g_object_add_weak_pointer (G_OBJECT (stream), (gpointer *) &control->priv->new_default_source_stream);o = pa_ext_stream_restore_read (control->priv->pa_context,gvc_mixer_control_stream_restore_source_cb,control);if (o == NULL) {g_warning ("pa_ext_stream_restore_read() failed: %s",pa_strerror (pa_context_errno (control->priv->pa_context)));return FALSE;}pa_operation_unref (o);/* source change successful, update the UI. */input = gvc_mixer_control_lookup_device_from_stream (control, stream);g_signal_emit (G_OBJECT (control),signals[ACTIVE_INPUT_UPDATE],0,gvc_mixer_ui_device_get_id (input));return TRUE;
}

如果设置的新的默认输入设备为 port 型，则首先通过 GvcMixerStream 对象的 gvc_mixer_stream_change_port() 函数设置 source stream 的 port，如在 GvcMixerSource 中的 gvc_mixer_source_change_port() 函数：

static gboolean
gvc_mixer_source_change_port (GvcMixerStream *stream,const char     *port)
{pa_operation *o;guint         index;pa_context   *context;index = gvc_mixer_stream_get_index (stream);context = gvc_mixer_stream_get_pa_context (stream);o = pa_context_set_source_port_by_index (context,index,port,NULL,NULL);if (o == NULL) {g_warning ("pa_context_set_source_port_by_index() failed: %s", pa_strerror(pa_context_errno(context)));return FALSE;}pa_operation_unref(o);return TRUE;
}

随后，如果新设置的输入设备的 stream 与之前的不同，则也会调用 gvc_mixer_control_set_default_source() 函数切换默认的输入 stream。

对于设置 配置，其调用过程如下：

#0  gvc_mixer_card_change_profile (card=0x555555685ac6, profile=0x7fffffffca70 "") at ../subprojects/gvc/gvc-mixer-card.c:240
#1  0x0000555555676eba in gvc_mixer_control_change_profile_on_selected_device (control=0x555556468e60, device=0x555556b81780, profile=0x5555568ea940 "output:analog-surround-50")at ../subprojects/gvc/gvc-mixer-control.c:572
#2  0x00005555556731ef in profile_changed_cb (self=0x5555567aa470) at ../panels/sound/cc-profile-combo-box.c:47

在 gvc_mixer_card_change_profile() 函数中调用 pulseaudio 的接口实现，如：

gboolean
gvc_mixer_card_change_profile (GvcMixerCard *card,const char *profile)
{g_return_val_if_fail (GVC_IS_MIXER_CARD (card), FALSE);g_return_val_if_fail (card->priv->profiles != NULL, FALSE);g_warning("mixer card change profile to '%s'", profile);/* Same profile, or already requested? */if (g_strcmp0 (card->priv->profile, profile) == 0)return TRUE;if (g_strcmp0 (profile, card->priv->target_profile) == 0)return TRUE;if (card->priv->profile_op != NULL) {pa_operation_cancel (card->priv->profile_op);pa_operation_unref (card->priv->profile_op);card->priv->profile_op = NULL;}if (card->priv->profile != NULL) {g_free (card->priv->target_profile);card->priv->target_profile = g_strdup (profile);card->priv->profile_op = pa_context_set_card_profile_by_index (card->priv->pa_context,card->priv->index,card->priv->target_profile,_pa_context_set_card_profile_by_index_cb,card);if (card->priv->profile_op == NULL) {g_warning ("pa_context_set_card_profile_by_index() failed");return FALSE;}} else {g_assert (card->priv->human_profile == NULL);card->priv->profile = g_strdup (profile);}return TRUE;
}

更多 UI 行为处理的细节，这里不再赘述，具体可以参考 GNOME Settings 及其依赖的 gvc 的源码。
