Add a lock-free stdin PCM ingest path, streaming resampler, stereo-linked limiting and pre-MPX audio filtering, plus the engine/control wiring needed to drive live audio into TX mode. Also document the ingest API and include a helper batch script for piping ffmpeg audio into fmrtx.
All major TX parameters are now hot-swappable during transmission:
- DSP params (drive, stereo, pilot, RDS levels, limiter) via
atomic.Pointer[LiveParams], loaded once per chunk (~50ms)
- RDS text (PS, RT) via atomic.Value in encoder, applied at
RDS group boundaries (~88ms)
- TX frequency via driver.Tune(), applied between chunks
Zero locks in DSP path. HTTP handler writes atomics, run loop
reads them. Validation happens before store.
New: SoapyDriver.Tune() for live frequency changes.
New: LiveConfigUpdate/LivePatch types for type-safe patching.
New: 4 engine tests for live DSP/freq/RDS updates + validation.
Clarify that outputDrive controls only the composite signal path while PlutoSDR hardware gain stays fixed at 0 dB. Relax outputDrive validation to allow stronger composite drive during hardware tuning and update the Pluto example config accordingly.
Introduce CLI TX mode, hardware driver selection, IQ resampling to device rate, and platform-specific PlutoSDR/SoapySDR integrations. Update engine pacing for blocking hardware writes and refresh docs/release notes for the hardware-ready v0.6.0-pre milestone.
