If you +hardcode it, please consider to at least define it at one known place so that it +can be easily changed. + +As opening a role may fail, you should test if it returns a success and a device +URI. Both of them should be tested because it's perfectly fine to have a role +without a device URI from 4a point of view (no device is bound to the role thus +no audio can be played in this case). + +Once you have finished to play audio, you should call **ahl-4a/[role]** with +**close** as action. This is important to allow other applications to use the +role when you are not using it. + +You may also want to handle events of the window manager to know if you +application is displayed or not, and open/close accordingly the role you are +using. |
