Alsa-Hook-Plugin
Object: Provide a Hook on Alsa PCM to check permission again AGL Advance Audio Agent
Status: Release Candidate
Author: Fulup Ar Foll fulup@iot.bzh
Date : August-2017
References: https://www.spinics.net/lists/alsa-devel/msg54235.html
## Functionalities:
- Execute a set of unix/ws RPC request again AGL binders to allow/deny access
- Keep websocket open in an idependant thread in order to monitor event received from AGL audio agent
## Installation
- Alsaplugins are typically search in /usr/share/alsa-lib. Nevertheless a full path might be given
- This plugin implement a hook on a slave PCM. Typically this slave PCM is a dedicated virtual channel (eg: navigation, emergency,...)
- Config should be place in ~/.asoundrc (see config sample in PROJECT_ROOT/conf.d/alsa)
## Test
- Install a full .asoundrc from conf.d/project/alsa.d
- Check SoundCard ==> speaker-test -Dhw:v1340 -c2 -twav
- Check MixerPCM ==> speaker-test -DSpeakers -c2 -twav
- Check SoftVol ==> speaker-test -DMusicPCM -c2 -twav
- Check Plugin ==> speaker-test -DMultimedia -c2 -twav
- Check MultiMedia aplay -DDMyNavPCM /usr/share/sounds/alsa/test.wav
## Pulse audio integration
By default Pulse only auto detect hardware sound card and virtual channel should be specified
1) update ~/.asoundrc file and check basic ALSA virtual channel works as expected
2) kill/restart pulseaudio server to force alsa hookplugin loading
3) declare alsa virtual channel as pulse sink
- pacmd load-module module-alsa-sink device=MusicPCM
- pacmd load-module module-alsa-sink device=NavPCM control=NavAlsaCtl
- pacmd list-sinks | grep -i music
4) check your virtual pulse sink work
- paplay -d alsa_output.MusicPCM /usr/share/sounds/alsa/test.wav
- paplay -d alsa_output.NavPCM /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
optional integration with ALSA legacy apps
5) start audio-pol4a controller
- repeat previous step(3) this time with device=Multimedia device=Navigation, ....
6) check virtual channel with policy controller protection
- paplay -d alsa_output.Multimedia /usr/share/sounds/alsa/test.wav
- paplay -d alsa_output.Navigation /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
Bug/Feature:
1) when softvol control is initialised from plugin and not
from AGL binding. At 1st run ctl has invalid TLV and cannot be used
Bypass Solution:
* start audio-binder before playing sound (binding create control before softvol plugin)
* run a dummy aplay -DMyNavPCM "" to get a clean control
2) When using Audio-Pol4a to protect virtual channel, the audio policy controller should
run before adding virtual channel into pulse.
3) In order to leverage SMACK to protect virtual audio role, a Pulse rooting plugin should be used.
## Alsa Config Sample

}
}
}
}
```
NOTE:
* Hook plugin is loaded by Alsa libasound within client context. It inherits client process attributes, as UID/GID and
SMACK label when running on AGL. The smack label is control by AGL security framework.
As a result a control request succeeds only when client application permission match requested audio role inside Cynara security database.
* Hook plugin keep a connection with the Audio-Agent until PCM is closed by the application. This connection allow the
Audio-Agent to send events. eg: pause, quit, mute, ...
