+ * The audio_policy and audio_policy_service_ops structs define the
+ * communication interfaces between the platform specific audio policy manager
+ * and Android generic audio policy manager.
+ * The platform specific audio policy manager must implement methods of the
+ * audio_policy struct.
+ * This implementation makes use of the audio_policy_service_ops to control
+ * the activity and configuration of audio input and output streams.
+ *
+ * The platform specific audio policy manager is in charge of the audio
+ * routing and volume control policies for a given platform.
+ * The main roles of this module are:
+ *   - keep track of current system state (removable device connections, phone
+ *     state, user requests...).
+ *   System state changes and user actions are notified to audio policy
+ *   manager with methods of the audio_policy.
+ *
+ *   - process get_output() queries received when AudioTrack objects are
+ *     created: Those queries return a handler on an output that has been
+ *     selected, configured and opened by the audio policy manager and that
+ *     must be used by the AudioTrack when registering to the AudioFlinger
+ *     with the createTrack() method.
+ *   When the AudioTrack object is released, a release_output() query
+ *   is received and the audio policy manager can decide to close or
+ *   reconfigure the output depending on other streams using this output and
+ *   current system state.
+ *
+ *   - similarly process get_input() and release_input() queries received from
+ *     AudioRecord objects and configure audio inputs.
+ *   - process volume control requests: the stream volume is converted from
+ *     an index value (received from UI) to a float value applicable to each
+ *     output as a function of platform specific settings and current output
+ *     route (destination device). It also make sure that streams are not
+ *     muted if not allowed (e.g. camera shutter sound in some countries).
