Trying to set a file descriptor originating from a LocalSocket on a MediaPlayer fails in Android, both the SDK emulator and the actual devices.
This problem was originally described in the link below, but the discussion got (unfortunately) sidetracked: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/6cf46cf5d1c8af45 The link gives example code to reproduce the problem - I am listing the necessary steps here as well for reference: 1) Create a thread with a LocalSocket that receives raw audio data (e.g. an OGG file), for example from another LocalSocket. 2) Connect the socket and a new MediaPlayer using mediaPlayer.setDataSource( receivingSocket.getFileDescriptor()); The code will fail with UNKNOWN_ERROR on C side with the following exception on Java side: java.io.IOException: setDataSourceFD failed: status=0x80000000 at android.Media.MediaPlayer.setDataSource(Native Method) at android.Media.MediaPlayer.setDataSource(MediaPlayer.java:251) I studied the C implementation of MediaPlayer APIs, but could not find out why the method MediaPlayer::getMediaPlayerService fails to return a valid media player service in this particular case.
