After an ack on IRC, I have now pushed the srbchannel patches to master.
The new protocol is enabled by default.
In short, the new protocol uses a shared ringbuffer, which is faster on
low-latency workloads because the per-packet overhead is lower, compared
to the unix socket/pipes we use today. You should notice a difference on
both server and client side.
It takes a packet extra to set up so extremely short connections (e g
pactl) might take slightly longer to execute, but you're unlikely to notice.
If you want to disable the srbchannel, you can add srbchannel=0 to
protocol-native, like this:
load-module module-native-protocol-unix srbchannel=0
Enjoy, and report if you find any issues.
Also thanks to Peter Meerwald for helping out with benchmarking, bug
finding and testing!
