Hi -
Yes, I'm a member of that group. I'll mention the new one to them! The
difference in topic is probably microscopic despite the use of the words
"music" vs "audio" and "product" vs "development", but that doesn't
matter much, I'll join up, we'll see what sticks.
As Oskari noted, here's hoping the angle of this new list (the low-level
aspects you mention) can help speed Android towards good low-latency i/o!

Interesting development... is that mailing list intended to have a

Well, firstly, I have to admit that I had not heard of that group, and
none of the other people I've been talking to so far have either, so
just on that basis alone I think it will have a different flavour, but
I'm sure there would be some overlap. Are you a member?
From the link you posted, it says "developing musical products for
Android" -- Andraudio is much broader than "musical" or "products". Of
the group of people that instigated andraudio I'm possibly the most
"music oriented" others are middleware and game audio developers (some
from PortAudio list some from elsewhere). But we all want the state of
audio on Android to improve and we want to work together to see this
happen.
I am hoping we will have some of the engineers who worked on the OpenSL
ES spec on the mailing list so I expect we'll be able to host
discussions about Android audio architecture at a lower level too.
In addition to mainstream Android audio using the public API's we're
interested in platform internals -- things like producing an
architecture document for AudioFlinger, developing low latency patches
for audioflinger, custom framework hacking or AOSP mods etc.
Does that answer your question?
Ross.
