MediaPlayer.create() is just a convenience function --- you ought to be able to do: FileDescriptor fd = something.getFD(); MediaPlayer mp = new MediaPlayer(); mp.setDataSource(fd, "audio/wav"); // FIXME check MIME type! Unfortunately the documentation (which is unevenly indexed) doesn't mention getFD() on anything other than file streams. There *may* be a way somewhere of being able to create a Unix pipe, opening it, and giving MediaPlayer a FileDescriptor that way, but I wouldn't know how. I'm currently writing an app using MediaPlayer extensively, and my experiences indicate that it's extremely touchy --- large chunks of it don't work, error reporting is poor, it's missing key bits of functionality (such as synthesised audio!) and it's very touchy. If you do anything the slightest bit wrong it has a tendency to crash your app. You might want to wait for the next SDK, or mug a top-50 winner... -- ┌─── ｄｇ＠ｃｏｗｌａｒｋ．ｃｏｍ ───── http://www.cowlark.com ───── │ "I have always wished for my computer to be as easy to use as my │ telephone; my wish has come true because I can no longer figure out │ how to use my telephone." --- Bjarne Stroustrup
