[Dianne Hackborn]

I am an engineer on the core Android frameworks (android.app, android.view,
android.widget, etc) and am on this list to answer questions that I can for
people in these areas.

Re: [android-developers] Dianne, when is the SoundPool going to get fixed?

[Christopher Van Kirk]

Nah, it's a development issue. I need sound in my app, and the spotty 
nature of support for this API is rather a big thorn in my side. 
Probably in yours as well if you're building anything that needs 
attenuation capability.

I'd say only 3 in 5 of the games in the market work on the SGS2, and maybe
1 in 5 works on the SGT10.1...with the sound turned on.

Not having a reliable API for these popular devices makes developing for

Sorry Dianne. I thought you were a general contact person for us peons 
since I see you replying frequently. Could you do me a favor and pass 
this question on to whoever is appropriate to handle it?


Thanks!

[android-developers] Dianne, when is the SoundPool going to get fixed?

[Christopher Van Kirk]

We're seeing a lot more devices coming onto the scene with two or more 
CPUs, and the SoundPool is broken on those devices. There is some kind 
of race condition that's causing a busy hang from time to time when 
playing sounds. The only workaround is to turn off the sound on such 
devices or avoid using the SoundPool.


I'd say only 3 in 5 of the games in the market work on the SGS2, and 
maybe 1 in 5 works on the SGT10.1...with the sound turned on.
