[Blocking Requested - why for this release]:

Followup of bug 1073494
1. When both headsets are connected and if BT headset is removed, playback pauses.
2. When both headsets are connected and if wired headset is removed, playback continues.

Whether it pauses or not, I feel behavior has to be consistent in both cases.

Dominic,
Could you please look into this?

Dominic, assigning this to you as well for investigation. Made this related bug: 1082938 a blocker because of broken function

This is reproducible in 2.1, but there is one detail that's worth mentioning:
when *both* headsets are connected, the music is heard through the BT headset, not wired headset.  So when the user hears the music via BT headset, disconnecting the wired headset won't affect the user, because it is not being used.

Once the wired headset is reconnected, then the phone recognizes the wired headset, and redirects the music to the wired headset from BT headset.  If BT headset is disconnected, then the music is paused even though the sound is coming out of the wired headset.  This should be fixed, but since there is a easy workaround (i.e. resume playing the music) not sure whether this qualifies as a blocker at this stage.

Just to clarify, When both headsets are connected, music is heard through last inserted headset.
Other than that I agree with your comment.
I will go to Jenny and discuss about this, let's have ux people to make the decisions, thanks.

Hi Dominic,
Per discussion, playback should always pause whenever audio routing is changed. Thanks!
Flags: needinfo?(jelee)
In 2.0, the behavior is a little different.
When wired headset and BT headset are both connected, the music always plays through the BT headset, even when wired headset is connected last.  I couldn't make the music to play on the wired headset while BT headset was connected.

But, when wired headset was disconnected, the music paused on BT headset.
When BT headset was disconnected, the music was paused as well, and I had to press play to make it play on the wired headset.

Since the music pauses when either headset is disconnected, I'll mark it as a regression.

David, I am able to fix this bug and it has became a 2.1 blocker as well so gets higher priority. The current mozAudioChannelManager api should be able to handle this bug, and if not, I will let the gecko devs know, thanks!
Flags: needinfo?(dkuo)
I think my assumption(comment 11) may not apply to all the cases, especially when a bluetooth headset and a wired headphones are both connected to the phone before the music app is launched, because what music app is able to know is, which headset/headphones is connected(with |BluetoothAdapter.isConnected(A2DP_UUID)| and |mozAudioChannelManager.headphones|), but it does not equal to the audio is routing to one of the headset/headphones, we will misjudge the audio routing if the music app is launched after the headset/headphones are connected.

So, to fix this issue, it's better and a right direction to add gecko api to expose the audio routing information for gaia, but I guess it's too risky for 2.1 and it might take a while to discuss the new api, I will leave it to the gecko devs(Randy) and they should have some ideas.

Alternatively, since this is a 2.1 blocker, I will try to keep the audio routing information in system app(because system app will be launched before the bluetooth headset is connected), then pass it or use it then send the remote commands to music app, so that music app is able to know/decide when should it pause the player to response the audio routing changes.
On 2.2, I think we could add an read only attribute:AudioChannelManager.active to indicate this headset is active or not.
The behavior would be:
1. If headset was the last or only one plug-in device, this value would be true.
2. If user pair BT && headset is plugged, this value would be false because BT would be the last connect device.
NI :dkuo to confirm this is WIP and help with an eta here given we need CAF fixes in by 10/30.

For 2.1 the patch will be a workaround without gecko changes, so it will take while for me to implement it, hope I can have the first patch before tomorrow(10/29) and left a day for the peer(should be Jim) to review, thanks!

Dominic, could you please put in a realistic ETA on marking this bug fixed with a workaround considering time to test and review. 

Thanks!

patch

Jim, would you please take a look on this wip first? since this wip will be a workaround for 2.1, it's better to let you know that we need to make some changes in system and music(the remote controls module) or we won't be able to fix this bug to satisfy the ux needs.

I have tested it roughly and the wip works fine for me, what Jenny and me have decided the ux is: pause the music player when the active headphones/headset is unplugged/disconnected because, it implies the user probably wants to stop listening with the current setup, also we decided not to pause when plugging/connecting the headphones/headset because, the user should be expecting to continue to listen to the music, though it also changes the audio routing.

I should add some tests for the patch while you are checking it, thanks!

patch - v2.1

[Approval Request Comment]
[Bug caused by] (feature/regressing bug #): Bug 1073494.
[User impact] if declined: Bad ux if the user switches between the wired and bluetooth headphones/headset when listening to the music
[Testing completed]: Passed the gaia-try on master but v2.1 due to there is no test cases on v2.1 branch, but I have tested manually and works fine on real device.
[Risk to taking this patch] (and alternatives if risky): low.
[String changes made]: none.

Thanks!

v2.1: e95ccb60589e98a576875879ad4105a53faeccba
This issue is verified fixed on Flame 2.1 and 2.2.

Result: When the last connected headset is disconnected, the playback pauses. When the user resumes the playback, the audio is re-routed to the remaining headset.

1. First connected: BT / Last connected: wired ---> audio comes from wired.
Disconnect wired ---> playback pauses.

2. First connected: wired / Last connected: BT ---> audio comes from BT.
Disconnect BT ---> playback pauses.
