1197673 - Use float type for SetAudioOutputVolume

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect)

Description

[Makoto Kato [:m_kato]]

I think that max volume is 1.0f, so we should not use uint32_t for volume parameter.

SetAudioOutputVolume should use float instead of uint32_t

Good catch!

I think the implementation in nsSpeechTask::WindowVolumeChanged also needs to be fixed, in light of these changes. Not sure how I didn't catch that earlier, but the multiplication there does not look right for either type.

Fix WindowVolumeChanged too.

Is the volume from WindowVolumeChanged relative or absolute? From other places it looks absolute, so it should be assigned, and not multiplied.

Actually, aVolume is always 1.0 because window->SetAudioVolume isn't called by tab UI now.  But it allows over 1.0 by bug 923247 comment #10.

Roc, this question is design issue of bug 923247.  I think that volume parameter of WindowVolumeChanged (Get/SetAudioVolume for audio indicator) is relative, is it right?

I don't know. Try baku...

This is the other place where it looks like an absolute value:

Comment 11

[Andrea Marchesini [:baku]]

I and Eitan spoke on IRC and, no, the value is relative. Here what we do in HTMLMediaElement:

float
HTMLMediaElement::ComputedVolume() const
{
  return mMuted ? 0.0f : float(mVolume * mAudioChannelVolume);
}

Where mVolume is the current volume of this element, and mAudioChannelVolume is what WindowVolumeChanged receives as param.
