03. Implement platform-specific media stream integration [x]

meta: id: audio-playback-fix-03 feature: audio-playback-fix priority: P2 depends_on: [] tags: [implementation, platform-integration, media-apis]

objective:

• Register audio player with platform-specific media frameworks
• Enable OS media controls (notification center, lock screen, multimedia keys)
• Support macOS AVFoundation, Windows Media Foundation, and Linux PulseAudio/GStreamer

deliverables:

• Platform-specific media registration module in src/utils/media-registry.ts
• Integration with audio hook to register/unregister media streams
• Platform detection and conditional registration logic
• Documentation of supported platforms and media APIs

steps:

• Step 1: Research platform-specific media API integration options
• Step 2: Create MediaRegistry class with platform detection
• Step 3: Implement macOS AVFoundation integration (AVPlayer + AVAudioSession)
• Step 4: Implement Windows Media Foundation integration (MediaSession + PlaybackInfo)
• Step 5: Implement Linux PulseAudio/GStreamer integration (Mpris or libpulse)
• Step 6: Integrate with audio hook to register media stream on play
• Step 7: Unregister media stream on stop or dispose
• Step 8: Handle platform-specific limitations and fallbacks
• Step 9: Test media registration across platforms

tests:

• Unit:
  • Test platform detection returns correct platform name
  • Test MediaRegistry.register() calls platform-specific APIs
  • Test MediaRegistry.unregister() cleans up platform resources
• Integration:
  • Test audio player appears in macOS notification center
  • Test audio player appears in Windows media controls
  • Test audio player appears in Linux media player notifications
  • Test media controls update with playback position
  • Test multimedia keys control playback through media APIs

acceptance_criteria:

• Audio player appears in platform media controls (notification center, lock screen)
• Media controls update with current track info and playback position
• Multimedia keys work through media APIs (not just terminal)
• Media registration works on macOS, Windows, and Linux
• Media unregistration properly cleans up resources
• No memory leaks from media stream registration

validation:

• On macOS: Check notification center for audio player notification
• On Windows: Check media controls in taskbar/notification area
• On Linux: Check media player notifications in desktop environment
• Test multimedia keys work with system media player (not just terminal)
• Monitor memory usage for leaks

notes:

• Platform-specific media APIs are complex and may have limitations
• macOS AVFoundation: Use AVPlayer with AVAudioSession for media registration
• Windows Media Foundation: Use MediaSession API and PlaybackInfo for media controls
• Linux: Use Mpris (Media Player Remote Interface Specification) or libpulse
• May need additional platform-specific dependencies or native code
• Fallback to terminal multimedia key handling if platform APIs unavailable
• Reference: Platform-specific media API documentation and examples
