+# TO DO
+
+## General
+
+- Resolve the [issues](https://github.com/mozilla/cubeb-coreaudio-rs/issues)
+- Some of bugs are found when adding tests. Search *FIXME* to find them.
+- Remove `#[allow(non_camel_case_types)]`, `#![allow(unused_assignments)]`, `#![allow(unused_must_use)]`
+- Use `ErrorChain`
+- Centralize the error log in one place
+- Support `enumerate_devices` with in-out type?
+- Monitor `kAudioDevicePropertyDeviceIsAlive` for output device.
+- Create a wrapper for `CFArrayCreateMutable` like what we do for `CFMutableDictionaryRef`
+- Create a wrapper for property listener’s callback
+- Use `Option<AggregateDevice>` rather than `AggregateDevice` for `aggregate_device` in `CoreStreamData`
+
+### Type of stream
+
+- Use `Option<device_info>` rather than `device_info` for `{input, output}_device` in `CoreStreamData`
+- Use `Option<StreamParams>` rather than `StreamParams` for `{input, output}_stream_params` in `CoreStreamData`
+- Same as `{input, output}_desc`, `{input, output}_hw_rate`, ...etc
+- It would much clearer if we have a `struct X` to wrap all the above stuff and use `input_x` and `output_x` in `CoreStreamData`
+
+## Separate the stream implementation from the interface
+
+The goal is to separate the audio stream into two parts(modules).
+One is _inner_, the other is _outer_.
+
+- The _outer_ stream implements the cubeb interface, based on the _inner_ stream.
+- The _inner_ stream implements the stream operations based on the _CoreAudio_ APIs.
+Now the _outer_ stream is named `AudioUnitStream`, the _inner_ stream is named `CoreStreamData`.
+
+The problem now is that we don't have a clear boundry of the data ownership
+between the _outer_ stream and _inner_ stream. They access the data owned by the other.
+
+- `audiounit_property_listener_callback` is tied to _outer_ stream
+but the event listeners are in _inner_ stream
+- `audiounit_input_callback`, `audiounit_output_callback` are registered by the _inner_ stream
+but the main logic are tied to _outer_ stream
+
+### Callback separation
+
+- Create static callbacks in _inner_ stream
+- Render _inner_ stream's callbacks to _outer_ stream's callbacks
+
+### Reinitialization
+
+If the _outer_ stream and the _inner_ stream are separate properly,
+when we need to reinitialize the stream, we can just drop the _inner_ stream
+and create a new one. It's easier than the current implementation.
+
+## Aggregate device
+
+### Usage policy
+
+- [BMO 1563475][bmo1563475]: Only use _aggregate device_ when the mic is a input-only and the speaker is output-only device.
+- Test if we should do drift compensation.
+- Add a test for `should_use_aggregate_device`
+ - Create a dummy stream and check
+ - Check again after reinit
+ - Input only: expect false
+ - Output only: expect false
+ - Duplex
+ - Default input and output are different and they are mic-only and speaker-only: expect true
+ - Otherwise: expect false
+
+[bmo1563475]: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1563475#c4
+
+### Get sub devices
+
+- A better pattern for `AggregateDevice::get_sub_devices`
+
+### Set sub devices
+
+- We will add overlapping devices between `input_sub_devices` and `output_sub_devices`.
+ - if they are same device
+ - if either one of them or both of them are aggregate devices
+
+### Setting master device
+
+- Check if the first subdevice of the default output device is in the list of
+ sub devices list of the aggregate device
+- Check the `name: CFStringRef` of the master device is not `NULL`
+
+### Mixer
+
+- Don't force output device to mono or stereo when the output device has one or two channel
+ - unless the output devicv is _Bose QC35, mark 1 and 2_.
+
+## Interface to system types and APIs
+
+- Check if we need `AudioDeviceID` and `AudioObjectID` at the same time
+- Create wrapper for `AudioObjectGetPropertyData(Size)` with _qualifier_ info
+- Create wrapper for `CF` related types
+- Create wrapper struct for `AudioObjectId`
+ - Add `get_data`, `get_data_size`, `set_data`
+- Create wrapper struct for `AudioUnit`
+ - Implement `get_data`, `set_data`
+- Create wrapper for `audio_unit_{add, remove}_property_listener`, `audio_object_{add, remove}_property_listener` and their callbacks
+ - Add/Remove listener with generic `*mut T` data, fire their callback with generic `*mut T` data
+
+## [Cubeb Interface][cubeb-rs]
+
+- `current_device` should be the in-use device of the current stream rather than default input and output device.
+- Implement `From` trait for `enum cubeb_device_type` so we can use `devtype.into()` to get `ffi::CUBEB_DEVICE_TYPE_*`.
+- Implement `to_owned` in [`StreamParamsRef`][cubeb-rs-stmparamsref]
+- Check the passed parameters like what [cubeb.c does][cubeb-stm-check]!
+ - Check the input `StreamParams` parameters properly, or we will set a invalid format into `AudioUnit`.
+ - For example, for a duplex stream, the format of the input stream and output stream should be same.
+ Using different stream formats will cause memory corruption
+ since our resampler assumes the types (_short_ or _float_) of input stream (buffer) and output stream (buffer) are same
+ (The resampler will use the format of the input stream if it exists, otherwise it uses the format of the output stream).
+ - In fact, we should check **all** the parameters properly so we can make sure we don't mess up the streams/devices settings!

+
+## Test
+
+- Rewrite some tests under _cubeb/test/*_ in _Rust_ as part of the integration tests
+ - Add tests for capturing/recording, output, duplex streams
+- Update the manual tests
+ - Those tests are created in the middle of the development. Thay might be not outdated now.
+- Add in-out support for `TestDevicePlugger`
