# The headphones panel's backend: noise cancelling on Sony headphones that
# speak the "v2" MDR protocol (the WH-CH720N here) over RFCOMM. Volume and
# battery are not here: volume is AVRCP through PipeWire, and battery is
# BlueZ's Battery1, both of which the island already reads.
#
# sonyctl MAC status {ok, mode, level, voice}
# sonyctl MAC nc|off set the mode, print the new state
# sonyctl MAC ambient [LEVEL] ambient sound, LEVEL 1-20 (default: kept)
# sonyctl MAC voice on|off ambient sound with focus on voice on or off
#
# Every set keeps the level and focus on voice it does not change.
# sonyctl MAC poweroff turn the headphones off
#
# mode is "nc", "ambient" or "off". Errors print {ok: false, error}.
#
# Frames, as measured on a WH-CH720N: 3e, type, seq, 4-byte big-endian
# length, payload, 1-byte sum of everything after 3e, 3c. 3c/3d/3e inside a
# frame are sent as 3d then the byte & 0xef. Type 0c is a command, 01 an
# ack; each side acks with seq 1 - the received seq, and the next command
# uses the seq of the last ack received. The headphones answer nothing until
# an init (00 00) has been sent on the connection.
#
# The ambient payload subtype is 17 on this model. 15, which Gadgetbridge
# sends for headphones without wind-noise reduction, is acked and never
# answered. The state is 17, 01, on, ambient, focus-on-voice, level.
