Minutes
Discussion about the AVB and next steps or topics to do (but we cannot reach the conclusion without Piotr)
- let's refer back to Breakdown rework.
- Networked audio devices: detailed good enough the AVB (Topics and priorities)
- AVB is not a solved problem but there are no more comments
- If we say Android needs to talk to ALSA devices, and AVB is a network between them, then the networking problem is solved
- If the AVB is sent to another ECU, then we also need the control → point number 2
- The focus should be on how cross ECU should work
- The third points: Audio Effects should have two parts, hardware audio effects and virtual effects
- Not sure if we are taking notes only or should we write this in the epics.
- Gunnar: is it a solved problem in the industry? Is there a real solution that can be used right now in production?
- Stephen: from a hardware point of view, AVB had a lot of improvement
- Software side, in early day it was considered too complex but people are demystifying it
- What track should we look at from our side?
- Wassim: interest: point number 2 is a low hanging fruit. Point number 1 is a bit more complext and needs a hardware etc. Audio Effect would be the next priority
- Gunnar: Audio project is more about defining the functions and API for transfering and controlling audio between the sources and the sink.
- the point number 2 is more like a remote control (from a smartphone for examle). But this topic was in GENIVI many years ago as part of multimedia. But we should pick up existing work to make it happen again if we go in this direction.
- media and media control should be separated from pure audio design
- Wassim: we have media control and volume control. volume is managed differently in Android. so we could revisit the Media control but the interfaces are already present in Android. The question here is more : i have an external amplifier and i want to control the volume without loosing the sync with Android: this is an open point. → so point number 2 is more like an Audio Control subject. We can look at Android and System Level Audio
- Gunnar: but so we could work on an interface to have in the infotainment system that would have control over the master volume and other media controls
- Wassim: the image in Android and System Level Audio is a bit outdated. After some research, Android does provide an interface for the media control but not for the volume
- Gunnar: MQQT could be used as a carrier to expose some information to the mobile phone for a remote control of the media for example
- Wassim: yes but when we receive a signal, do we bypass Android or we would feed it in the Android service
- Gunnar: so we would need to investigate what Android is exactly providing in order to check if we need an alternative
- Wassim: yes the first step should be a deliverable review document detailing what Android can and cannot do regarding this control API.
- Agreed (from all)
- Gunnar: maybe we can also take more opinions
- Google partner would give a benefit of the pre-release notes in order to check what are the upcoming changes in the APIs
- Gunnar: then we have a direction to go → learn what the system can do.
- Wassim: First question that comes to mind: the car audio manager could have pre-defined policies. If we want we can add plugins to it. The question is: does the car audio manager allows C++ custom plugins or pre-defined XML files?
- Stephen: There should be something like this because of all the cases of early audio in Android systems
- TODO: check the Jira if the discussion was captured in tickets of Jira to work on them
- Created a Jira ticket for this. @All: please have a look and create sub tasks to provide feedback about the topic in parallel to Wassim

FOSDEM presentation update
- Video submitted and is added to the presentation
- Piotr was requested to also be added as a host (but still no reply)
- The video is clear about the presentation and then Q&A session will follow where Suhasini and Piotr would join as hosts.

- Slides from Wassim about the two models inside and outside of AA
- discussion of the cases/features that we are trying to solve
- checking the Audio Manager to decide whether or not it needs an update
Minutes
- 2 strategies or options:
- android provides sources and sinks
- Android controls the complete systems
- We will not discuss the need to have such options
- Basically some functions cannot be integrated to AA
- Audio sources coming from android or from external (android not aware of them)
- Each strategy has limitations and can be criticized
- Idea is to get each model and apply to it questions/cases
- Questions like safety sources, raw streams, etc.
