1157184 - [B2G] The MozSpeakerAPI should only take effect on the specific process which turn the speaker on.

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: AudioChannel, defect)

Description

Now the design of the MozSpeaker API is to control all sound at the same time.

But I think that is conflict with the user perspective.
We can see the bug 1153124 and bug 1157122, they are all related with this issue.

If we open the MozSpeaker of FM (turn the speaker on), then we put the FM to the background.

THEN, ANY sound will be playback out from the speaker, it doesn't make sense.
Therefore, we should check the process ID to check who is using the MozSpeaker. We should only affect the sound of this process, instead of all sound.

Hi, Baku,
MozSpeakerAPI lets all applications go out from the speaker instead of specific application, it resulted in some bugs. Ex. bug1123124, bug1157122.

I want to change the MozSpeakerAPI, that is only control the specific application which is using this MozSpeakerAPI.
What do you think about this proposal? Does it sound appropriate?

Thanks a lots :)
