It's getting very late here and my brain is a bit too fried to follow the flows here right now. I'll try to grab you tomorrow morning if you're still around. Otherwise I'll give it a second go after some sleep.

It seems quite strange to update the hashtable on a "Get" call.

Why isn't the hash table already updated by the time we get here?
As I knew that the current works on m-c already have this capability.
I tried this case and it muted the background one.
  1. Playing a song from music player (content channel).
  2. Back to home. (continue to play)
  3. Playing a video from video player (content channel).
  4. Then music player in background will be muted.

It seems to be done by http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/5f626f86b374/dom/audiochannel/AudioChannelService.cpp#l138 .
Sure, it is. But what about if an app has more than 1 content channel playing?
That is just a quick solution... but we need a proper algorithm.

Hi Andrea,

It seems that you will stop all of audio streams on content channel if there are multiple Apps and they are in the background.

I just think that do we need to keep playing on the last one fall to background.

Thanks.
Marco I though about it but our UX doesn't have the concept of 'the last app' fall to background. and there is not an easy way to open the last one app fall to background.

So probably this bug can be fixed in this way (if the patch is good enough) and then implement a better approach later.

I would like to have a feedback from someone working on UX.

all channel types got mContentApps ++ ?

two or more background apps is muted(paused). That may need UX to decide what behavior they want.
Let's wait until 820704 is landed. This patch must be rebased.

These won't be appid, but rather TabParent-ids, right?

With the name fixed, r=me

However I think that we should do the stack thing. We already will have the case that if you shut down an app which is currently using the "content" channel you can end up hearing audio from another app which isn't the first app in the "card deck". With this patch that can happen if you have two apps currently using the "content" channel and you close one of them.

However I don't think it's important, so I think we should only do it if it's easy. And I'm happy to do it as a followup bug or as a followup patch.
