Hi Colin Further I tried to implement the BEEP logic for incoming "event" (say sms) during "phone" call stream is active. I tried to load and play sample cache..using pa_scache_add_file() and pa_scache_play_item() from module-cork-music-on-phone The sample gets loaded successfully in pa_init() module function, but actually the problem I am facing is the media.role of sample is set to "event" by default, ( I checked from pacmd --> list-samples) , so now my usecase of mixing BEEP (for "event" e.g sms) with "phone" stream is failing because the BEEP sample is set to media.role=event which gets corked while "phone" is active , and currently for some reasons its giving segmentation fault from pa_scache_play_item() function. Any suggestions or alternate on how to mix the BEEP with phone stream?

If it would prefer to stop itself, then that's up to the app. We should not be deciding policy for this behaviour in PA, just indicating that we want the application to stop producing audio. For more fine grained media player control, I'd recommend using something like MPRIS or similar. <div class="im"> > 2.

But as a hint, pa_scache_add_file() > - Where (Location) to copy the sound (beep) .wav file ? It's up to you. You could just pass a full path in the module argument or default to /usr/share/sounds if you prefer. Perhaps it's even worth adding a "suppressed-sound" to the Sound Theme Specification? I think that's more complicated than it needs to be at this stage however. > - How to Play the .wav from the module? Again this is in the code but as a hint pa_scache_play_item(); (I appreciate we don't really have great devel docs here, so the "it's in the code" argument is pretty weak!)
