Re: [LAU] Linux audio droid?

But the point is that when compiling C/C++ code using the Android Native Dev Kit (NDK), you are currently forced to use soft floats. So, if you want your app to work on a standard Android system, FPU or not, you can't use it currently. I've coded audio-related stuff in C using the NDK, including recording and fft-based filtering. The only public APIs which allow you to access the audio hardware are in Java. And they're quite terrible actually, don't even imagine using these for any low-latency stuff. iPhone OS is currently way ahead AFAICS. Now there's the other path (which I haven't tried): installing another Linux distro, such as Debian, on your device. I believe that chances are great that you could run Jack this way. And if you still want to use your phone as a phone, then you may even be able to dual boot, but again I haven't done that. HTH -- Olivier
