PRD: Bluetooth Audio Routing

Phase: Implemented
Status: Ready for testing
Platforms: Android (native Kotlin app + Tauri desktop app)

Problem

WarzonePhone had AudioRouteManager.kt with complete Bluetooth SCO support, but it was disconnected from both UIs. Users with Bluetooth headsets had no way to route call audio to them.

Solution

Wire Bluetooth SCO routing end-to-end through both app variants, replacing the binary speaker toggle with a 3-way audio route cycle: Earpiece → Speaker → Bluetooth.

Components Modified

Native Kotlin App

File	Change
CallViewModel.kt	Added audioRoute: StateFlow<AudioRoute>, cycleAudioRoute(), wired onRouteChanged callback
InCallScreen.kt	ControlRow now takes audioRoute: AudioRoute + onCycleRoute, displays Ear/Spk/BT with distinct colors

Tauri App

File	Change
android_audio.rs	setCommunicationDevice() (API 31+) with startBluetoothSco() fallback; set_audio_mode_communication/normal() for call lifecycle
lib.rs	set_bluetooth_sco, is_bluetooth_available, get_audio_route Tauri commands; SCO polling + 500ms route delay
wzp_native.rs	Added audio_start_bt() for BT-mode Oboe (skips 48kHz + VoiceCommunication preset)
oboe_bridge.cpp	bt_active flag: capture skips sample rate + input preset; playout uses Usage::Media; both use Shared mode + SampleRateConversionQuality::Best
engine.rs	set_audio_mode_communication() before audio_start(); set_audio_mode_normal() after audio_stop()
MainActivity.kt	Removed MODE_IN_COMMUNICATION from app launch — deferred to call start
main.ts	Replaced speakerphoneOn toggle with currentAudioRoute cycling logic
style.css	Added .bt-on CSS class (blue-400 highlight)

Audio Route Lifecycle

1. App launch → MODE_NORMAL (other apps' audio unaffected — BT A2DP music keeps playing)
2. Call starts → MODE_IN_COMMUNICATION set via JNI, Oboe opens with earpiece routing
3. User taps route button → cycles to next available route
4. Route changes → setCommunicationDevice() (API 31+) + Oboe restart in BT mode or normal mode
5. BT device disconnects mid-call → AudioDeviceCallback.onAudioDevicesRemoved fires → auto-fallback to Earpiece/Speaker
6. Call ends → route reset, MODE_NORMAL restored

Route Cycling Logic

Available routes = [Earpiece, Speaker] + [Bluetooth] if SCO device connected

Tap cycle:
  Earpiece → Speaker → Bluetooth (if available) → Earpiece → ...

If BT not available:
  Earpiece → Speaker → Earpiece → ...

Permissions

• BLUETOOTH_CONNECT (Android 12+) — already in AndroidManifest.xml
• MODIFY_AUDIO_SETTINGS — already in manifest

Known Limitations

• SCO only — no A2DP (stereo music profile). SCO is correct for VoIP (bidirectional mono).
• API 31+ required for modern path — setCommunicationDevice() is the primary BT routing API. Fallback to deprecated startBluetoothSco() on API < 31 (untested).
• BT SCO capture at 8/16kHz — Oboe resamples to 48kHz via SampleRateConversionQuality::Best. Quality is inherently limited by the SCO codec (CVSD at 8kHz or mSBC at 16kHz).
• No auto-switch on BT connect — when a BT device connects mid-call, user must tap the route button.
• 500ms route switch delay — after setCommunicationDevice() returns, the audio policy needs time to apply the bt-sco route. We wait 500ms before restarting Oboe.

Testing

1. Pair a Bluetooth SCO headset with Android device
2. Start call → verify Earpiece is default
3. Tap route → Speaker (audio moves to loudspeaker, button shows "Spk")
4. Tap route → BT (audio moves to headset, button shows "BT", blue highlight)
5. Tap route → Earpiece (audio back to earpiece, button shows "Ear")
6. Disconnect BT mid-call → verify auto-fallback
7. Verify both app variants work identically
8. Verify no audio glitches during route transitions
