990552 - Grant |privileged| apps use the Telephony channel by requesting the audio-channel-telephony permission

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Maria Angeles Oteo (:oteo)]

In order to allow third party apps to use Telephony channel (and use headphones) it would be nice to allow privileged app to use the audio-channel-telephony

Why do you need the telephony channel to use headphones? (Im just not familiar enough with how this API works) We need to solve this problem not just for this app, but for all apps, which means solving the issue that apps might block the certified phone app from being heard. (as per my comments in bug 988427)

I think the reason is to allow Loop to use the built-in earpiece in Loop audio calls apart from the speaker and/or headphones and, more important, to mute other audio sources with lower priority (i.e. the music app playing in the background).

The idea is that the app simply requests the telephony channel in the manifest permissions so changing the title of the bug.
