Low-level streaming multimedia api Android 4.0
<p>I'm quite new to Android, so please be patient with me!</p>

<p>In the highlights section for Android 4.0 (http://developer.android.com/sdk/android-4.0-highlights.html#DeveloperApis) it says the mediaplayer has a new low-level streaming api. It also says:</p>

<p>"To support this low-level streaming, the platform introduces a new native API based on Khronos OpenMAX AL 1.0.1. The API is implemented on the same underlying services as the platform’s existing OpenSL ES API, so developers can make use of both APIs together if needed."</p>

<p>Where can I find this api, In the SDK or in the NDK? It says:</p>

<p>"Tools support for low-level streaming multimedia will be available in an upcoming release of the Android NDK"</p>

<p>What does Tools support mean? Does it mean that this new api will only be available through a later version of the ndk? If so, when is this version scheduled? Or is possible to use this api today?</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
