feat(moq-audio)!: codecs return zero or more outputs and flush - #8270
moq-audio's Encoder::encode and Decoder::decode return exactly one packet or output per call. Every planned platform backend (AudioToolbox, MediaCodec, Media Foundation, WebCodecs in m5) pipelines: it readies zero or more outputs per input and needs a flush. Without this change, each of them would break the API in its own release.
Decisions
Output shape: ✅ a send/receive split, FFmpeg/MediaCodec style (rejected: a caller-owned &mut Vec buffer; keeping Vec, consistent with moq-video but allocating per frame). Decided by the maintainer on 2026-11-08, because returning Vec allocates per call. encode/decode only submit and return Result<()>. receive pops one ready output and returns Ok(None) when nothing is ready. flush marks the end of input so receive drains what the codec held.
libopus encode readiness: ✅ queue ready packets in a reused VecDeque, one allocation per encoder and never per call, so every codec shares one contract: submit any number, and receive drains them (rejected: refuse a second encode with Error::Unsupported while a packet waits). Decided by the maintainer on 2026-11-08.
Approach
Both backend traits and both front ends take the split. Every in-tree backend (libopus, PCM, symphonia) queues ready output in a VecDeque that reuses its slots, so a caller may submit any number before receiving. None allocates per call to hand back output.
The encoder contract is one packet per frame, in order, possibly late. encode::Producer receives after each frame and stamps each packet with its frame's timestamp. A packet the codec readies at once takes the frame's stamp directly. Only a held frame's stamp is queued, so a codec that holds nothing never allocates the queue. finish flushes held packets at their stamps before the terminal drain. A reset drops held packets, as it already dropped the Opus lookahead.
Encoder::finish still returns its packets as a list, since it runs once per stream. Packets not yet received come first, and discard_padding counts only the frames the drain submitted.
Decoder::receive trims the startup delay from outputs as they come out, not as packets arrive.
The AAC test stub pipelines: it holds every other frame, so submissions alternate between readying zero packets and two. A test decoder, Pipelined, does the same on the decode side. Together they cover delayed and multiple outputs, flush, reset, and producer stamping (held_packets_keep_their_frames_stamps).
Impact
Breakingmoq_audio::encode::Encoder::encode returns Result<()>. Encoder::receive and Encoder::flush are new. Migrate: encoder.encode(&pcm)?; while let Some(packet) = encoder.receive()? { .. }, and receive the packets.
Breakingmoq_audio::decode::Decoder::decode returns Result<()>. Decoder::receive and Decoder::flush are new. Migrate: decoder.decode(&packet)?; while let Some(output) = decoder.receive()? { .. }, then flush() and receive after the last packet.
Breaking moq-ffi MoqAudioEncoder.encode returns nothing. receive (an optional packet) and flush are new. The Python (encode/receive/flush), Swift (encode/receive/flush) and Go (Encode/Receive/Flush) wrappers and the Dart and Kotlin aliases follow, and the checked-in Dart bindings are regenerated. Migrate: call receive until it returns none after each encode.
Breaking moq-c: moq_audio_encoder_encode returns zero instead of a packet count. The new moq_audio_encoder_receive(encoder, dst) returns 1 with a packet or 0 with none, and moq_audio_encoder_flush returns zero. moq_audio_encoder_packet now reads only moq_audio_encoder_finish's packets. Migrate: after each encode, call moq_audio_encoder_receive until it returns 0.
OBS moq_opus takes exactly one packet per frame and errors otherwise. libopus always readies one.
decode::Consumer (behavior, no API change) refuses a decoder that readies anything other than one output per packet. Every in-tree decoder readies one.
No wire change.
Bench
cargo bench -p moq-audio --bench batches -- opus/ runs the Opus cases through encode::Producer on 4 s of stereo. I ran base (origin/main) and branch back to back on a quiet host (load average about 7 on 24 cores).

125274 → 125275
25.35 → 26.07 ms
Each case opens one encoder, and the one extra allocation is that encoder's ready queue: one per encoder, never per call. The earlier Vec return cost about 202 allocations per case. Instructions are unchanged, and the time differences are within noise.
Choices made without asking
decode::Consumer places exactly one output per packet and refuses any other count, rather than also learning to place held output. Its timing is stamped per packet (gap detection, warmup, terminal trim), and placing late output means reworking all of that. That work fits best with the first pipelining decoder, where real behavior can be measured. The two m5 decode quests now say so.
The producer drops held packets on reset or reanchor, consistent with how it already drops the Opus lookahead and pending samples there.
I made the existing AAC stub pipeline rather than adding a second stub. Platform AAC encoders pipeline, so the existing AAC producer tests now cover that too.
receive is the name for both directions, mirroring FFmpeg's receive_packet/receive_frame under each module's namespace.
A packet publish failure ends the producer, through the same path as a failed finish.
Follow-ups
moq-video codecs split submission from receive, planned in this PR under m2: moq-video's encoders and decoders still return Vec, so they take the same split, through moq-ffi, moq-c and OBS.
decode::Consumer places pipelined decoder output. Already folded into the m5 MediaCodec and Media Foundation decode quests, which need it first.
Checks
just check passed.
Swift has no toolchain on this Linux host, so the three-method Swift wrapper change is uncompiled.

Encoder::encode and Decoder::decode return a Vec, and both gain flush, the
shape moq-video's codecs use, so the platform backends planned for m5 add no
break. The producer stamps each packet with the frame it pairs with by
order, and finish publishes held packets ahead of the terminal drain. The
AAC test stub now pipelines, proving delayed and multiple outputs.

moq-audio codecs return zero or more outputs
feat(moq-audio)!: codecs return zero or more outputs and flush
Nov 8, 2026
Direction: the zero-or-more return plus flush is a coherent change at the codec boundary, and making it before the planned platform backends avoids repeated public API breaks. Keeping the ordered one-packet-per-submitted-frame encoder contract lets the producer preserve timestamps without adding timestamps to the codec API. The explicitly deferred pipelined decode::Consumer support is clearly guarded and recorded in the platform decode quests.
I traced delayed/multiple output ordering, producer stamp-queue consumption and reset paths, flushing before the terminal drain, padding calculated from submitted drain frames rather than returned packets, and decoder startup-delay trimming across both decode and flush. I also checked the binding adaptations and the OBS single-packet restriction against the current libopus backend.
Verification limits: GitHub source/diff review only. I did not run builds, tests, benchmarks, code generation, or platform codecs, and did not independently verify the checks or performance figures reported in the PR. The current production backends remain synchronous; the new buffered behavior is exercised by source-level test stubs. Final pre-publication checks confirmed this PR remains open and non-draft at the SHA above, with no existing review to duplicate. This is a comment review, not an approval.

Breaking codec seam: encode::Encoder::encode and decode::Decoder::decode return Vec, and both backend traits and front ends gain flush, mirroring moq-video; libopus, PCM, and symphonia still return one output per call and hold nothing.
Producer stamping: encode::Producer keeps an in_flight: VecDeque<Timestamp>, pushes a frame's stamp after submitting it, pops one per returned packet, flushes held packets in drain before the terminal drain, and counts discard_padding in frames submitted rather than packets returned.
Decoder trimming: Decoder::trim spreads the startup delay across outputs as they emerge; decode::Consumer now refuses any decoder returning other than exactly one output per packet.
Pipelining test codecs: the encode Stub holds every other frame and a new decode Pipelined backend does the same, with shared tests for late output, flush, reset, and producer stamping.
Bindings: moq-ffi returns packet lists and adds flush, moq-c adds moq_audio_encoder_flush, the Python/Go/Swift and regenerated Dart wrappers follow, and OBS errors unless libopus yields exactly one packet per frame.
Quest tree: quest/m2/audio-codec-seam.md is deleted, its m2 README entry removed, and the m5 encode and decode quests rewired to drop the ## Required edge.
I traced stamp pairing through every producer transition (fresh start, inactive backlog, set_active, reanchor, discontinuity, finish), recomputed discard_padding and the new PTS expectations, and checked every in-tree audio Encoder/Decoder caller and wrapper. The drop of held packets at a reset or reanchor matches the decision recorded in the body, and the deferred reset after an inactive backlog still clears the codec and in_flight together.
ℹ️ quest/m5/audio-web.md still states the pre-change return shape
This PR rewrites every other quest that described the old audio codec seam (the m5 encode and decode quests plus the m2 README entry), but quest/m5/audio-web.md keeps the rationale this change falsifies: "today Backend::encode returns exactly one packet per frame, synchronously". Only the asynchrony is still future work, and the video sibling already carries the correct wording.
Technical details
# audio-web quest claims a return shape this PR removes## Affected sites-`quest/m5/audio-web.md:23-25` — "Why: today `Backend::encode` returns exactly
one packet per frame, synchronously, but WebCodecs queues work…". After this
PR `Backend::encode` returns `Vec<Encoded>`; only "synchronously" still holds.
-`quest/m5/video-web.md:29-33` — the sibling already reads "Today the
backend's `encode` and `flush` return their packets synchronously", which is
the intended post-change wording.
## Required outcome
The quest's stated reason for an asynchronous seam stays true: the seam is still
synchronous and produces no output until the next call. Drop the "exactly one
packet per frame" clause (or reword it as the video quest does) so the m5 plan
does not describe a seam this PR removed.
## Suggested approach (optional)
Match `video-web.md`'s phrasing: "Today the backend's `encode` and `flush`
return their packets synchronously, but WebCodecs delivers output through a
callback and drains through a promise."

Walkthrough
Audio encoder and decoder APIs now separate input submission from output retrieval. Both APIs provide receive operations, and flush releases held output. Encoder publication pairs delayed packets with frame timestamps. Language bindings and the C API expose the updated encoder operations. The decoder consumer still requires exactly one output per packet.
Merge Risk: Low · previous review 70b9a
The updated audio APIs appear mergeable with bounded follow-up. Callers should drain packets promptly to avoid accumulating memory; outstanding concerns involve cleanup after failures, terminal error reporting, and delayed-output test coverage.

A packet publication failure now settles the producer as failed rather than allowing another write after the codec and timestamp queue have advanced. Checked that finish propagates the same cause without re-draining the closed codec, and terminal cleanup releases the in-flight queue. The playback consumer's unsupported output-count contract now reports Error::Codec. The merged GStreamer lifecycle changes retain the audio test's zero-or-more-output adaptation.

Reviewed changes
This run re-reviewed the two commits since the prior Pullfrog review (0c24882): the fix commit and the main merge.
Publish failures now end the producer: a publish error inside publish_packets calls close(Err(err)) instead of returning ?, so the producer becomes terminal once the codec and stamp queue have advanced past a packet that was never published.
Centralized terminal cleanup: Producer::close is extracted from end, marks the codec Finished/Failed (failing the track on error), and now also releases the in_flight allocation alongside pending, remix, and resampler; end drains then closes, and the resource-retirement test asserts in_flight.capacity() == 0.
Decoder contract error retyped: decode::Consumer's multi-output refusal is Error::Codec, matching the encoder-side check; the prior thread is resolved.
Base merge: origin/main was merged in; the quest/m2/README.md and quest/m5/* range-diff entries are base shift (main's own quest edits), not branch changes.
The close early return for a non-Live codec makes the publish-failure path safe to reach from inside drain without a double track.fail, and end's second close after an already-closed drain is a no-op. No new findings.

Reviewed 49e91c8 incrementally from d26049e, separating the main merge from the submission/receive refactor. No actionable findings.
The split consistently reaches the codec backends, producer/playback consumer, C/FFI wrappers, Dart bindings and OBS caller. Checked startup-delay trimming on receive, queued-output reset, ordered timestamps for held versus immediately ready packets, and finish draining between submissions so libopus's single ready slot cannot reject the next drain frame. The single-output playback restriction remains explicit; the send/receive direction avoids allocating an output list per submission.

A future pipelined backend can return no output for a packet or multiple outputs later. This test would reject both cases and omit held tail samples. Drain after each submission, then flush and drain before comparing.

Release pending PCM after a publication failure.
If publication fails during a large write, close clears self.pending, but publish_full_frames restores its local buffer afterward. The failed producer can retain that PCM allocation until it is dropped. Discard the local buffer when the codec has closed.

Reviewed changes
This run re-reviewed the delta since the prior Pullfrog review (d26049e): the split submit/receive design, the main merge, and the cleanup commits.
Split seam: encode::Backend::encode / decode::Backend::decode and the public front ends now submit and return Result<()>; receive pops one ready output, and flush marks end of input so receive drains what the codec held.
Backends: libopus encode holds its one packet in Option and refuses a frame while it waits; libopus decode, PCM, and symphonia reuse a VecDeque. reset clears the queue (and Opus state).
Producer stamping: in_flight queues a stamp only when the codec holds the packet; publish_ready pops an in-flight stamp first, then the submitted one, and pushes the latter back only if unused.
Encoder drain: finish/drain submits each frame then receive_into, so libopus's single ready slot never blocks the next drain frame; discard_padding counts submitted drain frames rather than returned packets.
Decoder: receive applies the startup delay to each output as it emerges; decode::Consumer still requires exactly one output per packet with Error::Codec.
Bindings: moq-c gains moq_audio_encoder_receive, with encode/flush now returning zero and finish reading its packets through moq_audio_encoder_packet; the Go, Python, Swift, and regenerated Dart wrappers follow, and OBS requires exactly one packet per frame.
Quests: new quest/m2/video-codec-receive.md tracks the moq-video split; the m5 audio encode/decode quests drop the old ## Required edge.
I traced the split through the producer's held-packet stamping, the terminal drain, the consumer's one-output contract, the C receive/packet ownership path, and every wrapper. The prior inline thread on decode::Consumer's error variant is resolved. No new findings.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)
Reviewed 70b9ab5 incrementally from 49e91c8, separating main merges from the libopus queue change. No actionable findings.
Libopus now queues ready packets in submission order instead of rejecting a second submission. Checked FIFO receive, reset clearing, independent packet payload ownership, and finish draining queued packets before padding. The updated API documentation no longer imposes the removed single-packet restriction.
Verification limits: GitHub-only static review; builds, codec tests, and allocation benchmarks were not run.

Reviewed changes
This run re-reviewed the delta since the prior Pullfrog review (49e91c8): the libopus queue change plus a main merge.
libopus encode queues ready packets: the single Option<Encoded> slot and its Error::Unsupported refusal are replaced by a reused VecDeque<Encoded>, so encode accepts any number of submissions, receive pops them FIFO, and reset clears the queue along with the Opus state. This makes libopus match the contract PCM, symphonia, and the pipelining stubs already follow.
Encoder docs follow the change: Encoder::encode no longer claims libopus refuses a frame while its last packet waits; it now says a pipelining codec may hold output while libopus and PCM ready it at once.
Base merge: origin/main was merged in; no other branch changes touch rs/moq-audio/src/encode.
I checked that the queue preserves packet order and reset behavior, that Encoder::drain/finish still drain after every submission so held packets are stamped and counted correctly, and that every in-tree caller (producer, OBS, moq-c, moq-ffi) already receives after each encode, so removing the refusal cannot accumulate output.

Problem
moq-audio's
Encoder::encodeandDecoder::decodereturn exactly one packet or output per call. Every planned platform backend (AudioToolbox, MediaCodec, Media Foundation, WebCodecs in m5) pipelines: it readies zero or more outputs per input and needs a flush. Without this change, each of them would break the API in its own release.Decisions
&mut Vecbuffer; keepingVec, consistent with moq-video but allocating per frame). Decided by the maintainer on 2026-11-08, because returningVecallocates per call.encode/decodeonly submit and returnResult<()>.receivepops one ready output and returnsOk(None)when nothing is ready.flushmarks the end of input soreceivedrains what the codec held.VecDeque, one allocation per encoder and never per call, so every codec shares one contract: submit any number, andreceivedrains them (rejected: refuse a second encode withError::Unsupportedwhile a packet waits). Decided by the maintainer on 2026-11-08.Approach
VecDequethat reuses its slots, so a caller may submit any number before receiving. None allocates per call to hand back output.encode::Producerreceives after each frame and stamps each packet with its frame's timestamp. A packet the codec readies at once takes the frame's stamp directly. Only a held frame's stamp is queued, so a codec that holds nothing never allocates the queue.finishflushes held packets at their stamps before the terminal drain. A reset drops held packets, as it already dropped the Opus lookahead.Encoder::finishstill returns its packets as a list, since it runs once per stream. Packets not yet received come first, anddiscard_paddingcounts only the frames the drain submitted.Decoder::receivetrims the startup delay from outputs as they come out, not as packets arrive.Pipelined, does the same on the decode side. Together they cover delayed and multiple outputs,flush,reset, and producer stamping (held_packets_keep_their_frames_stamps).Impact
moq_audio::encode::Encoder::encodereturnsResult<()>.Encoder::receiveandEncoder::flushare new. Migrate:encoder.encode(&pcm)?; while let Some(packet) = encoder.receive()? { .. }, and receive the packets.moq_audio::decode::Decoder::decodereturnsResult<()>.Decoder::receiveandDecoder::flushare new. Migrate:decoder.decode(&packet)?; while let Some(output) = decoder.receive()? { .. }, thenflush()and receive after the last packet.MoqAudioEncoder.encodereturns nothing.receive(an optional packet) andflushare new. The Python (encode/receive/flush), Swift (encode/receive/flush) and Go (Encode/Receive/Flush) wrappers and the Dart and Kotlin aliases follow, and the checked-in Dart bindings are regenerated. Migrate: callreceiveuntil it returns none after eachencode.moq_audio_encoder_encodereturns zero instead of a packet count. The newmoq_audio_encoder_receive(encoder, dst)returns 1 with a packet or 0 with none, andmoq_audio_encoder_flushreturns zero.moq_audio_encoder_packetnow reads onlymoq_audio_encoder_finish's packets. Migrate: after each encode, callmoq_audio_encoder_receiveuntil it returns 0.moq_opustakes exactly one packet per frame and errors otherwise. libopus always readies one.decode::Consumer(behavior, no API change) refuses a decoder that readies anything other than one output per packet. Every in-tree decoder readies one.Bench
cargo bench -p moq-audio --bench batches -- opus/runs the Opus cases throughencode::Produceron 4 s of stereo. I ran base (origin/main) and branch back to back on a quiet host (load average about 7 on 24 cores).Each case opens one encoder, and the one extra allocation is that encoder's ready queue: one per encoder, never per call. The earlier
Vecreturn cost about 202 allocations per case. Instructions are unchanged, and the time differences are within noise.Choices made without asking
decode::Consumerplaces exactly one output per packet and refuses any other count, rather than also learning to place held output. Its timing is stamped per packet (gap detection, warmup, terminal trim), and placing late output means reworking all of that. That work fits best with the first pipelining decoder, where real behavior can be measured. The two m5 decode quests now say so.receiveis the name for both directions, mirroring FFmpeg'sreceive_packet/receive_frameunder each module's namespace.Follow-ups
Vec, so they take the same split, through moq-ffi, moq-c and OBS.decode::Consumerplaces pipelined decoder output. Already folded into the m5 MediaCodec and Media Foundation decode quests, which need it first.Checks
