Soundboard v2 — a near-parallel of the custom-emoji image-pack system for
in-call audio clips.
- Data model: 3-tier packs mirroring MSC2545 — room/space pack (state event
io.lotus.soundboard, inherited by child rooms via parent-space aggregation),
global refs (io.lotus.soundboard_rooms), and the personal pack
(io.lotus.soundboard account data; the v1 flat-list content is migrated to the
pack shape on read). New plugins/soundboard/ (readers, SoundboardPack, utils) +
hooks/useSoundboardPacks (useRelevantSoundboardPacks = user U global U room,
deduped). Unit-tested (migration + slug).
- Management: reusable SoundboardPackEditor (name + emoji + per-clip volume +
delete + upload + batched save), power-level-gated for room packs like emoji
packs; a Soundboard page wired into Room + Space settings.
- In-call: CallSoundboard rewritten as a Discord-style grid grouped by pack
(emoji + name tiles), sourcing room+parent-space U personal clips; a Manage
toggle embeds the editors; per-clip volume x master volume on playback.
- Spam guard: host gates on a playing key (fork enforces one clip at a time).
- Control bar: Mute-Screenshare moved next to the Screenshare button.

Element Call is now consumed as our self-built fork
(@lotusguild/element-call-embedded); wire up its previously-dormant
capabilities and document the fork as live.
Soundboard (P5-15): a call-bar button plays user-uploaded audio clips into the
call as a real published track (io.lotus.inject_audio) plus local playback.
Clips are uploadable like emoji/sticker packs, stored in io.lotus.soundboard
account data (synced across devices). Gated by a Settings toggle + volume.
Quality controls (P5-31): per-user mic/screenshare bitrate + screenshare
framerate (Settings -> Calls), applied via io.lotus.set_quality clamped to any
room cap. Room admins set caps and hard call-permissions (allow_screenshare /
allow_camera) in Room Settings -> Voice; the call bar hides blocked buttons.
- New: CallSoundboard, useSoundboard, soundboardClips; RoomQuality,
useCallQuality, callQuality (+ unit tests).
- Optimistic-write RoomQuality admin UI (no stale-state clobber).
- Docs: mark EC fork live across README/FEATURES/TODO/BUGS/TESTING; add D2
manual-test steps.
Numeric quality caps are client-cooperative; screenshare/camera permissions are
hard-enforced server-side (see LotusGuild/matrix voice-limit-guard).
