[music-dsp] New Android audio developers mailing list

[Ross Bencina]

Hi All

Google recently launched a new C/C++ programming interface (OpenSL ES) for
audio development on Android devices. I expect this will mark the beginning
of a new world of audio applications for Android phones and tablets.

Following discussions on various forums and lists a few of us have created a
mailing list specifically to discuss topics related to Android audio
software development (whether for music, games, media or whatever else you
can imagine). If you're a developer and you're interested in audio software
on Android devices, please join us. You can find an overview of the list and
information about subscribing here:

Please pass this invite on to anyone who you think might be interested. Feel
free to repost, blog, link and tweet.

Many thanks to Douglas Repetto and Brad Garton at Columbia University Music
Department for hosting the list.

Maybe by 2021 we can get the latency down to a human level.

Hi -

Interesting development... is that mailing list intended to have a
different flavour to the google group
<http://groups.google.com/group/android-music-developers/> which has
been going for a while?

Well, firstly, I have to admit that I had not heard of that group, and none
of the other people I've been talking to so far have either, so just on that
basis alone I think it will have a different flavour, but I'm sure there
would be some overlap. Are you a member?

Hi -

Yes, I'm a member of that group. I'll mention the new one to them! The
difference in topic is probably microscopic despite the use of the words
"music" vs "audio" and "product" vs "development", but that doesn't
matter much, I'll join up, we'll see what sticks.

As Oskari noted, here's hoping the angle of this new list (the low-level
aspects you mention) can help speed Android towards good low-latency i/o!

Yeah, well that's the main thing that got us together so I hope so.

Some have already started looking at bypassing audioflinger for lower
latency operation for example...
