While a channel has no negotiated codec (CT_NONE), DecodeReceiveData() skipped both decode branches and left vecvecsData[iChanCnt] unwritten. That buffer is indexed by position in the connected-channel list, so with -R a new client in a reused channel was recorded with the audio last decoded at that position. Separately, the per-channel Opus decoders kept the previous client's state, so the new client's recording opened with the end of the previous client's audio. Zero the buffer in the CT_NONE branch, and reset the channel's four decoders when the channel is freed. Both run on the decode path.

897-902: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winReset the delay-panning history when clearing a reused slot.
The decode workers clear
vecvecsData[iChanCnt], but mixing runs beforevecvecsData2is refreshed. With delay panning and a non-zero pan delay, the first samples can come from the stalevecvecsData2buffer. This can send the previous occupant's audio to listeners. Recording is not affected because it reads the clearedvecvecsData.Suggested fix
vecvecsData[iChanCnt].Reset ( 0 ); + vecvecsData2[iChanCnt].Reset ( 0 );🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

This change was suggested by Coderabbit in #3969 (review), but it could easily have been overlooked, as it was hidden unless expanded.

901-901: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winReset delay-panning history before the first codec frame.
InitChannel()does not clearvecvecsData2. If a reused channel receives its first audio packet, then acceptsCT_OPUSorCT_OPUS64before the nextOnTimer()call,DecodeReceiveData()skips the reset at line 901. With delay panning enabled,MixEncodeTransmitData()can then read the previous occupant’s delay history and include it in the first outgoing mix.Reset the compacted delay-panning buffer for a newly connected channel before its first codec frame. Do not reset it on every frame because the buffer stores the previous frame for delay panning.
The recorder receives
vecvecsDatabeforeMixEncodeTransmitData(), so this path does not directly establish stale audio inAudioFramerecordings.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

🤖 AI: Short description of changes
A new client that takes a reused channel inherits two pieces of the previous client's audio, and with
-Rboth land in the new client's recording. Measured onmainat7ebf8f87: test client A sends a 440 Hz tone and disconnects, and client B joins 100 to 500 ms later sending only silence.CT_NONEbranch writes nothing tovecvecsData[iChanCnt], which is indexed by position in the connected-channel list. B's pre-identification recording held A's tone in 12 of 13 runs. It was usually one 128-sample frame, but 256, 768 and 896 samples also occurred, each frame a repeat of the same stale buffer.These are two independent causes behind one symptom, and fixing either alone leaves the symptom: with only the buffer zeroed, B's identified recording still opened with A's audio (row 2 below); with only the decoders reset (measured with the reset in
OnNewConnection), B's pre-identification recording still held A's tone in 10 of 10 runs. The two changes touch separate code and can be split into two PRs if preferred.This PR zeroes the buffer in the
CT_NONEbranch, and resets the channel's four decoders in theGS_CHAN_NOW_DISCONNECTEDbranch, just beforeFreeChannel(). Both run on the decode path, and neither runs while a client is connected with a negotiated codec. Resetting the decoders in theCT_NONEbranch instead missed one case: a new client that never passes throughCT_NONE(no pre-identification recording). To force that case, test client B sent its transport properties unrequested right after its first packet.mainCT_NONEinstead, B forced pastCT_NONECT_NONEmain, third client connected throughoutWith the real Jamulus client as A and B (a JACK sine into A) and a third client connected throughout,
mainrecorded A's tone in the first 16 frames of B's recording in 4 of 5 runs, and this PR in 0 of 5. A listener does not hear the leak: the third client's downlink carried at most RMS 18 at B's join onmain, at least 56 dB under A's tone in the same downlink, and at most 0.7 with this PR.The RMS 326 is the reset decoder's own start-up output: it is the same when A sends silence. Two statements in #3901 were incomplete: the stale audio is not always one frame, and zeroing the buffer alone does not stop the leak.
CHANGELOG: Server: Fixed the start of a new client's recording containing audio from the previous client in the same channel.
