Thanks Colin. got your point here.<br>Now similar to music cork over phone, I need to cork the stream with role="event" when another stream with role="phone" becomes active.<br>(here event can be sms alert etc) , Do I need to write any new module for this? or this can be achieved some how, any pointers can be helpful? <br> <br>Best Regards,<br>Himanshu<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"> On Wed, Jun 1, 2011 at 2:03 PM, Colin Guthrie <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gmane@colin.guthr.ie" target="_blank">gmane@colin.guthr.ie</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> 'Twas brillig, and Himanshu Chug at 01/06/11 07:27 did gyre and gimble:<br> <div>> Thanks for the quick reply Amanda, actually I need to understand this in<br> > some more details ,<br> > since I am new to pulseaudio please forgive if I ask something with not<br> > much sense<br> > 1. What this module do? and how PA modules can be loaded?<br> <br> </div>It more or less does as Amanda suggests. It corks/pauses the music<br> streams when a phone stream is active on the same sink.<br> <br> In order to "cork" the application must handle cork requests from PA<br> (thus allowing the app to properly pause itself). Just in case the app<br> does not handle the cork, PA will mute the stream also. When the phone<br> stream disappears, the stream is unmuted and the uncork request is sent.<br> It's up to the music app to handle this gracefully.<br> <br> Modules are loaded typically by the <a href="http://default.pa" target="_blank">default.pa</a> script that is processed<br> on startup. module-cork-music-on-phone is part of the <a href="http://default.pa" target="_blank">default.pa</a> we ship.<br> <div><br> > 2. How and When the module "module-cork-music-on-phone" comes to<br> > picture or gets loaded? What condition triggers to load this module?<br> <br> </div>It's listens for new streams and when it find both two streams tagged<br> with phone and a music respectively, it will cork/pause the music one.<br> <div><br> > 3. I am setting the role through music application.<br> <br> </div>Yeah, if you set it explicitly that's best but PA also tries to parse<br> the .desktop file shipped with apps to try and augment the properties if<br> possible. This is why, e.g. we know that lastfm-player (which uses alsa)<br> is a "Music" app.<br> <br> HTHs<br> <br> Col<br> <br> <br> <br> --<br> <br> Colin Guthrie<br> gmane(at)<a href="http://colin.guthr.ie" target="_blank">colin.guthr.ie</a><br> <a href="http://colin.guthr.ie/" target="_blank">http://colin.guthr.ie/</a><br> <br> Day Job:<br> Tribalogic Limited [<a href="http://www.tribalogic.net/" target="_blank">http://www.tribalogic.net/</a>]<br> Open Source:<br> Mageia Contributor [<a href="http://www.mageia.org/" target="_blank">http://www.mageia.org/</a>]<br> PulseAudio Hacker [<a href="http://www.pulseaudio.org/" target="_blank">http://www.pulseaudio.org/</a>]<br> Trac Hacker [<a href="http://trac.edgewall.org/" target="_blank">http://trac.edgewall.org/</a>]<br> <div><div></div><div><br> _______________________________________________<br> pulseaudio-discuss mailing list<br> <a href="mailto:pulseaudio-discuss@lists.freedesktop.org" target="_blank">pulseaudio-discuss@lists.freedesktop.org</a><br> <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss</a><br> </div></div></blockquote></div><br>
