*1: There are major 4 patterns of arbitration(policy) in automotive
  - The latter source win \\ Discards the former source and output the latter source.
  - The latter source win and the former source pause \\  Pauses the former source and output the latter.
  - The latter loose \\ Continues former source and discards the latter source.
  - The latter source is put on hold \\ Continues former source and puts latter source on hold

===== Work-in-progress status =====

Manuel Bachmann is working on **Tizen PulseAudio Module (Murphy IVI)** to remove dependencies on Murphy and LUA, and provide a demo implementation fitting above requirements (2016/04/04).

Work can be followed here : [[https://github.com/Tarnyko/pulseaudio-module-murphy-ivi]]

//(done so far : ported Tizen IVI PulseAudio 5.0 patches to AGL PulseAudio 6.0)//

//(planned for Week 23, June 9th 2016 : initial code sharing and demo)//

===== Documents and proposals =====

The following presentation was issued before the [[https://wiki.automotivelinux.org/agl-distro/may2016-f2f| May F2F Meeting]], sums up the state of audio routing in GENIVI/Tizen, and contains a proposal for an AGL audio routing model :
