+ *  The framework will query the devices according to audio_policy_configuration.xml
+ *
+ *  Each device name is arbitrary, provided by the vendor's audio_policy_configuration.xml
+ *  and only used to identify a device in this factory.
+ *  The framework must not interpret the name, treating it as a vendor opaque data
+ *  with the following exception:
+ *  - the "r_submix" device that must be present to support policyMixes (Eg: Android projected).
+ *    Note that this Device is included by default in a build derived from AOSP.
+ *
+ *  Note that on AOSP Oreo (including MR1) the "a2dp" module is not using this API
+ *  but is loaded directly from the system partition using the legacy API
+ *  due to limitations with the Bluetooth framework.
