Bluetooth Audio Handling IRC Meeting

Bluetooth Audio Handling IRC Meeting

[Daniel Wagner]

Hi Everyone,

[Sorry for cross posting but it might be interesting for someone on
these mailing lists]

I would like to invite to a IRC discussion on the HFP audio handling.

Topic is to find a solution for the handling/routing of the audio
streams (SCO link) in BlueZ, PulseAudio and oFono.

- Currently, it is not possible for PulseAudio or BlueZ to know what the
audio stream is carrying (*). This information is need for multi phone
uses cases. Think about two connected phones at the same time and both
are doing HFP.

- If there is need for policy decisions, is desirable to have this done
in one place only. With policy decision is meant deciding when to
suspend and resume a SCO link. Of course we would have to agree first,
if this should be done in placed into one component only.

- For the two phone use cases I also like to discuss how to report the
'content' (*) of the audio links, so the above policies can be
implemented. oFono doesn't export this information and I assume we
really don't want to have a dependency on PulseAudio from oFono.

(*) in band ringing, active call, held call, etc.
