Multimedia

Detailed Description

The Multimedia module contains reference information for media, both audio and video playback and record, using GStreamer. The Sound Manager provides additional support ranging from simple tones to the more complex sampled sound. It allows manipulating volume on a stream as well as on a specific hardware component. There is no separate Video Manager since further video support is dependent upon the codecs installed on the handset.

The Audio Manager is a Linux daemon that is launched at system startup. It implements the API requests for audio support. Using a routing table it determines which device to output sounds to (speaker, headphones, Bluetooth headset, etc.) based on the current device configuration. You can use the APIs in Audio Manager to manage various aspects of sound in an application.

The Media Session APIs can be used to control the playback and recording of audio-visual media. These APIs provide a standard means for applications to reference media content stored locally on the device, stored on a network, or accessible from some attached hardware device such as a microphone or camera.

Use these APIs in combination with the "Working with Multimedia" manual provided in the SDK.
