Re: [android-developers] Dianne, when is the SoundPool going to get fixed?
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?
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. On 9/4/2011 8:05 PM, Michael Banzon wrote: OT: Wooaaw!
