Implement: https://wiki.mozilla.org/NPAPI:DefaultAudioDeviceNotification This proposal is to allow plugins instances that are running within a low integrity process on Windows 10 to still receive default audio device notifications.
Whiteboard: sbwn1
Blocks: 1253261
Would like to request status update and an ETA for this feature, if available.
Priority: -- → P3
Setting priority P2 because this bug blocks P2 bug 1253261.
Priority: P3 → P2
This plugin logs default audio events that it receives using the API spec'ed here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/NPAPI:DefaultAudioDeviceNotification Written as an STR: 0. Install this test plugin by building npaudiotest.sln to generate npaudiotest.dll or simply copying ntaudiotest.dll (a debug build) from the zip archive. Place the dll in your profile's plugins folder. (Press <WindowsKey>-R and enter %appdata%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ -- then find the relevant profile folder and access or create a 'plugins' subfolder there). 1. Launch Firefox 32-bit from the command line. 2. Open test.html (from the zip archive) in the browser. 3. Insert/remove a device that changes the default audio - e.g. a USB microphone. EXPECTED RESULT: The plugin will log the details of the new audio device to the console. ACTUAL RESULT: Nothing since the API isn't implemented. --------------------- The plugin just printfs the default audio device changes to the console. In order to see it register/unregister with the OS for these notifications, you need to turn on more logging. Run Firefox with the log environment variable set for plugins: MOZ_LOG=IPCPlugins:4,plugin:4 When the plugin starts, it logs a message like this: [Main Thread]: D/IPCPlugins Registered for plugin audio device notification. When the OS generates a new audio device notification, Firefox logs a message like this: [Main Thread]: D/IPCPlugins Notifying 1 plugins of audio device change. And the plugin itself writes a message like this: NPAUDIOTEST: Received Default Audio Device Change Notification: (0,0,{0.0.0.00000000}.{df007fef-8548-4c8c-8b37-8903d2c5e0cd}) Finally, when the plugin is unregistered, we get a message like this: [Main Thread]: D/IPCPlugins Unregistering for plugin audio device notification.

Attached patch Implement default audio notification spec (obsolete) (deleted) — Splinter Review
(Bob, maybe another reviewer is appropriate as you already have one from me...?) This implements the API. Rather than bounce the message to the content process via the PluginInstanceParent/Child, it sends it to the chrome proc using the PluginModuleParent/Child. This is because we may not want audio on the content proc in the future. TESTS: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=b5e38f20429b Each interested plugin instance registers with its PluginModuleChild in its plugin process. When the PMC has greater-than-zero registered instances, it tells its PluginModuleParent to register with a singleton that monitors the audio devices. When no instances are registered then the singleton is destroyed to avoid overheard, as written in the spec.
