Feature Specification: Audio Streaming System

ID: AUDIO-001 Version: 1.0 Status: Planned Priority: Critical

Overview

The audio streaming system handles real-time voice packet capture, encoding, transmission, and playback between clients and server.

Architecture

Client-Side Audio Pipeline

Microphone Input → Audio Capture → Opus Encoder → Packet Formation → Network Transmission
                                                           ↓
Network Reception ← Audio Decoder ← Packet Reception ← Speaker Output

Server-Side Audio Pipeline

Client 1 Voice Packets → Voice Packet Router → Broadcast to Channel Members
Client 2 Voice Packets → Voice Packet Router → [Client 1, Client 3, ...]
Client 3 Voice Packets → Voice Packet Router

Requirements

Audio Capture (Client)

  • Sample Rate: 48 kHz (Opus standard)
  • Bit Depth: 16-bit PCM
  • Frame Size: 20ms frames (Opus standard: 960 samples)
  • Channels: Mono or Stereo (initially mono)
  • VAD (Voice Activity Detection): Optional, reduces bandwidth when silent
  • Support multiple audio devices (fallback to default device)

Audio Encoding (Client)

  • Codec: Opus with variable bitrate
  • Bitrate Range: 8-128 kbps (configurable)
  • Default Bitrate: 64 kbps
  • Latency: <20ms encoding latency
  • Frame-based encoding (process 20ms chunks)

Packet Format

[Header] [Payload]
  ↓         ↓
[SeqNum][Timestamp][SSRC][Payload Length][Opus Data]
 (2B)      (4B)    (4B)      (2B)       (Variable)

Voice Packet Routing (Server)

  • Receive voice packets from connected clients
  • Identify source client and current channel
  • Broadcast to all connected clients in same channel
  • Drop packets from clients not authenticated
  • Handle packet loss gracefully (no retransmission needed for voice)

Audio Decoding & Playback (Client)

  • Decode multiple incoming Opus streams
  • Maintain separate decoders for each speaker
  • Mix multiple streams for playback
  • Handle jitter buffer (20-100ms buffer)
  • Handle packet loss (silence/interpolation)
  • Support volume adjustment per speaker and master volume

Performance Requirements

  • Latency: <100ms round-trip (E2E)
  • Jitter: <50ms acceptable variation
  • Packet Loss Tolerance: Acceptable up to 2% without noticeable degradation
  • Memory: <50MB for audio subsystem (including buffers and decoders)
  • CPU: Single audio stream <5% on modern dual-core CPU

Data Flow

Publishing Voice Stream

User → Microphone → Audio Capture (Device)
    ↓
Audio Processing (gain, echo cancellation)
    ↓
Opus Encoder (20ms frames)
    ↓
RTP-like Packets with metadata
    ↓
gRPC Streaming to Server

Receiving Voice Stream

Server broadcasts packet to all channel members
    ↓
Client receives on audio stream listener
    ↓
Opus Decoder (separate per speaker)
    ↓
Audio Mix Engine (combine multiple speakers)
    ↓
Audio Playback Device
    ↓
Speaker Output

Error Handling

  • Lost packets: silence substitution or previous frame interpolation
  • Decoder errors: skip corrupted packets, log error
  • Device unavailable: graceful fallback, user notification
  • Network interruption: auto-reconnect voice stream
  • Buffer overflow: drop oldest frames, log warning

Configuration

  • Audio device selection (OS-dependent enumeration)
  • Microphone volume level
  • Speaker volume level
  • Bitrate preference
  • Enable/disable voice activity detection
  • Enable/disable echo cancellation

Dependencies

  • Opus codec library (gopxl/beep or libopus bindings)
  • Audio device access (PortAudio or OS-specific APIs)
  • RTP/gRPC for packet transport

Testing Strategy

  • Unit tests for Opus encoding/decoding
  • Network simulation tests for packet loss
  • Integration tests with mock audio devices
  • Latency measurement benchmarks
  • Jitter buffer tests with varying packet arrival times
