## **<div id="Target\ reader\ of\ this\ document">Target reader of this document</div>**
Application developer whose software uses sound output.

* * *

## **<div id="Overview">Overview</div>**
The sound manager is the service which provides **sound-right management** for multiple sound sources.  
This service based on GENIVI Audio Manager, and this package contains service binder and library for API calling.  
The reason why this service based on GENIVI Audio Manager is because the sound manager supports highly strong and flexible sound-right management function.

In order to understand, the below figure shows the one of typical usecases.
In this example, there are four sound mode.
1. Audio Off
2. Media Player
3. Tel (Ring and talking)
4. TTS (Text To Speech; typically it's used by Navigation sound)
![Figure: Typical usecase](parts/typical-usecase.png)

The important points are:
- **There is a priority for each sound source.**  
	In this example, "Tel" and "TTS" is stronger than "MediaPlayer". Therefore when the system got incoming call, all four outputs of MediaPlayer are muted automatically by Sound Manager. And in this timing, Sound Manager will issue the event to Media Player, then Media Player can stop the music. (Because depends on OEM's requirement, "Stop" is required, not "Mute".)  
    "Tel" and "TTS" have the same priority. So if TTS event happened on talking, each sound will output from independent speaker.  
    If on-hook button is touched, Sound Manager will resume previous sound mode. In this example, basically it's MediaPlayer sound. But if TTS still playing, three speaker will output MediaPlayer sound but one speaker will continue to output TTS sound.
- **Sound mode transition should be done by Sound Manager not Applications.**  
	Actually application cannot recognize all sound source and its priority, so some centerized manager is required. Sound Manager provides this function. Sound Manager has a database for usecase and priority and in line with this policy Sound Manager controls proper sound mode.


The below links show the example of Sound/Window mode transition.
* [Single window application](Display_Audio_Transition1.md)  
	This transition assumes target IVI system support only one window on screen. It's a similar transition to CES2017 demo.
* [Dual window application](Display_Audio_Transition2.md)  
	This transition assumes target IVI system support two window (split screen) on screen.

	Of course user can customize shortcut menu, but since it's too many states so this example limits shortcut menu as "Home", "MediaPlayer", "HVAC" and "Navigation".

| Item        | Description                       |

### **<div id="Build">Build</div>**

You can make Sound Manager object files by the following two stage operations.

**Download recipe**
If repo is already done, please start with git clone
```
$ mkdir WORK
$ cd WORK
$ repo init -b dab -m dab_4.0.0_xml -u https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/AGL/AGL-repo
$ repo sync
$ git clone https://gerrit.automotivelinux.org/gerrit/staging/meta-hmi-framework

```

Then you can get the following recipe.
* `meta-hmi-framework/agl-service-soundmanager-2017`


**Bitbake**
```
$ source meta-agl/scripts/aglsetup.sh -m m3ulcb agl-demo agl-devel agl-appfw-smack hmi-framework
$ bitbake agl-service-soundmanager-2017
```


* * *

### **<div id="Configuring">Configuring</div>**
To use Sound Manager API, an application shall paste the following configuration definition into "config.xml" of application.
```
<feature name="urn:AGL:widget:required-api">
	<param name="soundmanager" value="ws" />
</feature>
```

* * *

### **<div id="Additional\ work">Additional work</div>**

**Add Policy file**

To add Sound Manager Domain into policy, put the following file to /etc/audiomanager/control.

` soundmanager/conf/audiomanager-config-sample/configuration.xml`


**Remove Module router of Pulse Audio**

Because the module rounter access to Audio manager for getting sound right instead of application in CES2017, after you changed your application code for Sound manager, you should remove the module router.  
To do this, you have to comment out line.143 of /etc/pulse/default.pa as below.

```
.ifexists module-router.so
#load-module module-router
.endif

```


* * *

### **<div id="How\ to\ call\ Sound\ Manager\ APIs\ from\ your\ Application?">How to call Sound Manager APIs from your Application?</div>**
Sound Manager provides a library which is called "libsoundmanager".  
This library provides function style API calling interface. So you should include libsoundmanager.hpp headerfile, and should link this library.
Please also refer sample application and template.


See also our [Sample code](#Sample\ code).


<br />

* * *

## **<div id="Supported\ usecase">Supported usecase</div>**
1. Active source change
	- When user choose different audio source with current one, IVI system stop or pause current source and activate new one.
	- When user connect external device e.g. iPhone, USB memory IVI system change active source automatically to connected one.
2. Active source locking
	- When user is in phone call, IVI restrict to change active source.
3. Interrupt source mixing
	- When car close to cross road IVI system reduce the volume of current source and mix with interrupt source e.g. Navigation Guidance.
4. Volume change
	- User can change the volume of active source or sink.
	- When user change volume during interruption e.g. Navigation Guidance, IVI system change its volume temporary or permanently.
5. Mute/unmute
	- User can mute/unmute current active source.
6. Volume management
	- When user change active source, IVI system mute/unmute to avoid distortion of sound.
7. Volume acceleration
	- When road noise is increased by speed, IVI system automatically change the volume of active source.
8. Routing sound
	- System needs to route sound stream to proper zones. (driver zone, passenger zone, rear seat zone)

## **<div id="Software\ Architecture">Software Architecture</div>**
The architecture of Sound Manager is shown below.  
Sound Manager is the service designed to be used by multiple applications.  
Therefore Sound Manager framework consists on two binder layers. Please refer the following figure.  
The upper binder is for application side security context for applications. The lower binder is for servide side security context.  
Usually application side binder has some business logic for each application, so the number of binders depend on the number of applications which use Sound Manager.  
On the other hand, regarding lower binder there is only one module in the system. This binder receives all messages from multiple applications (in detail, it comes from upper layer binder).

The communication protocols between libsoundmanager and upper binder, upper binder and lower binder, lower binder (soundmanager-binding) and AudioManager are WebSocket.

![software-stack.png](parts/software-stack.png)

* * *

## **<div id="API\ reference">API reference</div>**
"libsoundmanager" and "soundmanager_binding" provides several kinds of APIs, and these APIs basically correspond to GENIVI Audio Manager API. (Some APIs are Sound Manager original functions.)

For understanding, GENIVI Audio Manager stands for one core module and three plug-ins.
1. AudioManagerDaemon  
	This is a core module of Audio Manager.
2. AudioManagerCommandPlugin  
	This is a command interface for Audio Manager.
3. AudioManagerController  
	This plug-in can be used for sound-right management.
4. AudioManagerRountingPlugin  
	This plug-in abstracts the hardware and software. And sometimes there may be multiple plug-ins.

One of the most important concept of Audio Manager is Audio Domain.
To use GENIVI Audio Manager based system, it may be better to understand this concept.
The below document should bring good understanding.

[GENIVI Audio Manager: Generic Controller Plug-in](http://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/AGL_AMM_presentation_A01.pdf)

Although strongly recommended to read whole pages, but you can get quick understanding by page.10 to 14.
