As a developer, when you want to play audio, you rely on APIs +such as alsa, pulseaudio or higher level API(s). To play audio you usually have +some kind of device URI that you have to open in order to write audio data to +it. + +4a does **not** change anything about that. You still have to do all of this. 4a +provides permissions, signals and policies. This means that all compliant +applications have to ask 4a for a 'role' when they want to play audio. If 4a +grants them the permission, it returns a device URI that applications have to +open. + +Nothing prevent an application to directly open a device, but in this case no +policies can be applied and access permissions are handled by system policies. + +### 4a Architecture + +![4a's architecture diagram](images/4a-architecture.svg) + +Even if applications only deal with the high level API, 4a is made of multiple +components that rely on each other. + +The high level API uses the hal-manager to list enabled HALs then it uses +directly those HALs. + +HALs rely directly on drivers and/or softmixer. diff --git a/docs/4a-framework/SUMMARY.md b/docs/4a-framework/SUMMARY.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..413454c --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/4a-framework/SUMMARY.md @@ -0,0 +1,5 @@ +# Summary + +* [Architecture](README.md) +* [Concepts](concepts.md) +* [Components](components.md)
