[PATCH v5 0/7] New API for Bluetooth A2DP codecs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This is 5th version of my patch series for modular A2DP codec API and
aptX support. The only change for v5 is support for switching codecs.

This patch series provides new modular API for Bluetooth A2DP codecs,
clean up module-bluez5-device and bluez5-util to be codec independent
and convert SBC codec into this new API for A2DP codecs. Also it adds
support for aptX, aptX HD and FastStream A2DP codecs.

New codec API is designed in way, that for adding new codec is not
needed to touch bluez5-util nor module-bluez5-device files. Whole
codec registration is done in a2dp-codec-util.c file, without need
to update any header file.

Some A2DP codecs are bidirectional and support backchannel for
microphone voice. This new A2DP codec API fully supports this feature
and module-bluez5-device was extended to support microphone voice source
for codecs which declares such support. FastStream is such codec.

For every A2DP codec is created card profile. When using bluez patches
from https://marc.info/?l=linux-bluetooth&m=154696260401673&w=2 then
only those profiles codec profiles are created which are supported
by remote headset/endpoint.

With this new modular API it should be easy to add other codec support
like MP3, AAC or LDAC.

API is designed also for ability to register "more variants" or one
A2DP codec. E.g. SBC codec forced to high quality, SBC codec forced
to low quality, SBC codec with automatic quality.

Once we agree on final version of codec API, I can prepare patches
also for choosing above SBC codec quality.

I tested playback with SBC, aptX and FastStream codecs and it is
working fine. Also microphone voice in FastStream is working and has
slightly better quality as in HSP profile.

Changes in v5:
* Added support for switching between A2DP codec via profiles.
  This requires bluez patches from above link.

Changes in v4:
* Added support for aptX HD codec
* Changed codec API for reading block size and reducing encoder bitrate
* Added support for microphone backchannel into module-bluez5-device
* Added support for microphone backchannel into FastStream codec
* Fixed parsing FastStream A2DP config buffer
* Fixed validation for config buffers
* Fixed calculating block size for aptX codec
* Fixed resetting SBC and FastStream codecs

Changes in v3:
* Fixed problems pointed by Tanu
