Audio Capabilities

The primary purpose of this document is to present the comprehensive capabilities of the Audio Subsystem, covering the currently supported audio concurrency scenarios and the coder combinations available at the source and sink endpoints of Audio Pipe. Additionally, it offers key considerations for effectively utilizing these audio capabilities.

Audio Concurrency

Audio concurrency primarily illustrates the various scenarios supported by different ICs and provides guidance to users on how to effectively utilize these capabilities.

1. The following table details the audio concurrency scenarios that the RTL87x3E supports. In the table, the first column indicates the category that is currently active, while the first row denotes the category that is intended to run concurrently. Using the Audio row as an example, when A2DP music is playing, Notification, Audio, Record, Line, and Pipe can operate concurrently with Audio, whereas Voice does not support concurrent processing.

   Supported Audio Concurrency of RTL87x3E

   	Notification	Audio	Voice	Record	Line	Pipe
   Notification	N	Y	Y	Y	Y	Y
   Audio	Y	Y	N	Y	Y	Y
   Voice	Y	N	N	N	Y	N
   Record	Y	Y	N	Y	Y	Y
   Line	Y	Y	Y	Y	N	Y
   Pipe	Y	Y	N	Y	Y	Y

2. Outlined in the table below are the audio concurrency scenarios supported by RTL87x3EP and RTL87x3G. The meaning of the table is the same as that of RTL87x3E.

   Supported Audio Concurrency of RTL87X3EP and RTL87x3G

   	Notification	Audio	Voice	Record	Line	Pipe
   Notification	N	Y	Y	Y	Y	Y
   Audio	Y	Y	N	Y	Y	Y
   Voice	Y	N	N	N	Y	N
   Record	Y	Y	N	Y	Y	Y
   Line	Y	Y	Y	Y	N	Y
   Pipe	Y	Y	N	Y	Y	Y

3. The audio concurrency scenarios supported by the RTL87x3D are outlined in the table below. The meaning of the table is the same as that of RTL87x3E.

   Supported Audio Concurrency of RTL87x3D

   	Notification	Audio	Voice	Record	Line	Pipe
   Notification	N	Y	Y	Y	Y	Y
   Audio	Y	Y	Y	Y	Y	Y
   Voice	Y	Y	N	N	Y	Y
   Record	Y	Y	N	N	Y	Y
   Line	Y	Y	Y	Y	N	Y
   Pipe	Y	Y	Y	Y	Y	Y

Note

1. Audio, Voice, and Record all fall under Audio Track, though they differ in stream types T_AUDIO_STREAM_TYPE.

2. For detailed information on using the API usage, please refer to Notification, Audio Line, and Audio Pipe. If the application needs the Audio Track concurrency scenario, it shall call the audio_track_policy_set() API to set the policy to AUDIO_TRACK_POLICY_MULTI_STREAM, as the default policy is AUDIO_TRACK_POLICY_SINGLE_STREAM.

3. The table above outlines the audio concurrency scenarios currently supported by default. The concurrency capabilities may be adjusted in the future.

Pipe Conversion

The supported Codecs are PCM, CVSD, mSBC, SBC, AAC, Opus, FLAC, MP3, LC3, LDAC, and LHDC. As listed on the table below, any two different codecs can support bidirectional conversion. The conversion labels follow the format: SRC:X —> SNK:Y, where X is the input codec and Y is the output codec. For example, PCM<——>CVSD and MSBC<——>AAC. No conversion is needed for the same codec (marked as ———— in the table).
