Linux Phones

Yeah i really would want that too, but i'm also like if experienced developers couldn't do it in all this time how can i do it? Maybe i am underestimating myself here so maybe later i'll look into it. Sticking with the easy stuff for now.

Well it's funny you say that cause i tried music once and found it very hard.

I'm making a game with a few friends and i'm really in awe of what the artists do, maybe it's just human to be in awe of things you struggle with and downplay things you are good at.

I want to post a low tech guide soon on how to do Linux mobile development, so maybe you find that useful.

It runs pretty well for me, the things listed on the wiki as works do in fact work.

When swithichg tabs you get a flickering glitch, so please don't get it if you are photosensitive.

Yeah, it's likely just a buffer needs to be filled with amplitude samples, and sample frequency plus bit depth needs to be programmed (and volume). Then from there it's just a matter of adding codecs to decode/decompress various audio formats from media (which would be the same code as on desktops, though complied for ARM or whatever instruction set the phone's CPU uses).

Oh also, there'll be determining the method it handles multiple channels (separate buffers or some sort of interleaving in a single buffer?).

And then adding virtual buffers can help with output device management, as each output might use a different buffer, so having apps writing their audio to a virtual buffer means your code can manage things like the user switching from phone speaker to aux cable or bluetooth (which is a whole other beast and involves encoding the audio to specific codecs to make up for the relatively low bandwidth available).

Though whatever is already there could add complexity, but my guess is it's just a matter of matching memory mapped addresses up and then the existing linux audio code will handle the rest.
