[SDL 0113] SDLAudioStreamManager

Proposal: SDLAudioStreamManager

This proposal provides an interface for automatically transcoding audio files – such as mp3 – to the SDL compatible PCM format, queueing these files, and playing them using the PCM audio stream available to NAVIGATION apps.

Review: smartdevicelink/sdl_evolution#347

Steering Committee Decision:

When reviewing this proposal, there was a question about a use case for audio streaming. The author of this proposal advised that audio streaming would be used for navigation or projection apps only, and that navigation apps that are playing audio (voice of navigation directions, for example) often don't have directions available in PCM format, or the correct PCM format. The AudioStreamManager will take the format that the app has (MP3, for example), convert it into PCM format and play. This allows the app to use the manager instead of having to convert the file themselves. After this discussion, the Steering Committee voted to accept this proposal.
