This could be considered a bump, as my previous post (regarding audio
on 1.6 never got a response - see
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/f6b8a70acef0636a/617d1aa3af991f68?lnk=gst&q=audio+routing#617d1aa3af991f68
) never got a response.

In Android 1.5 we had the ability to route audio to any of the
available output devices - Speaker, Earpiece, Wired Headset, Bluetooth
A2DP.

In Android 1.6 the Android team made things more difficult, but it was
still possible (there were comments about a re-write of the
Audio subsystem)

In Android 2.0 the workarounds for 1.6 stopped working, and comments
in the source/documentation indicated "thou shalt call these alternate
methods" - the alternate methods didn't seem to work properly and only
gave access to a subset of available devices.

I have just downloaded the latest source and can now see why the "new"
methods don't work properly for me - they themselves seem to have been
deprecated and are just stubs that do nothing.  I also note that the
documentation has also been updated to indicate these methods are no
longer viable.

So my question is this: Is there *any* way in Android 2.x for an
application to request that audio be routed to a given audio sink.
Specifically, if I want to route audio to Speaker OR Earpiece OR Wired
Headset (if available) OR Bluetooth A2DP (if available) -- can I do
it?

I'd be interested to hear if Google Voice still allows switching
voicemail playback from Speaker to Earpiece on Android 2.x devices
(the Verizon Droid for example).
