How to analyze the equations of monopole point source when dealing with the acoustic pressure

I have been confused with the governing equations when conducting a case on room mode applying the monopole point source.
1/(ρc^2 ) · (∂^2 p)/(∂t^2 ) + ∇[-1/ρ · (∇p-q_d )]= Q_m
Q_m= 4π/ρ ∙ S ∙ δ(x-x_0)
S= e^iφ ∙ (iω · ρ_c · Q_s)/4π
Until now, I have checked many acoustic books, but only found the following similar equation.
∇^2 p- 1/c^2 ∙ (∂^2 p)/(∂t^2 ) = -ρ ∙ (Q_s (t) ) ̇ ∙ δ(x-x_0 )
So my questions are
1). While I put the monopole source as the initial condition, why there is a q_d that should be subtracted in the equation
1/(ρc^2 ) · (∂^2 p)/(∂t^2 )+ ∇[-1/ρ · (∇p-q_d )]= Q_m
2). What does φ mean in the equation
S= e^iφ ∙ (iω · ρ_c · Q_s)/4π
And what is the difference, in particular, between e^iφ and e^(i(ωt-kr)), which I have seen in many books?
