Freepine,

I have looked at Soundpool, it does not solve my problem. To further
clarify, I need to implement the following (pseudo code) api for my
application. I do not need to play the sound.

public short[] getPcmData(String audioFilename, int
seekPositionInSeconds, int durationInSeconds);

Where for example:
   audioFileName = "/sdcard/somefile.mp3" ; // If I can implement this
for mp3 files only that would be a good start, but if i can also do
the same for AAC and other formats that would be great
   seekPositionInSeconds = 15 ; // The offset inside the audio file to
start decoding
   durationInSeconds = 5;           //  Number of seconds of audio
data starting at seekPosition to return the data for

What I need is a way to invoke the opencore decoder code from my
application and get the raw PCM data back.

-thanks,
Sandeep
