Android audio - what's the current state in Lime?

Lime
#1

As the title suggests, should I be expecting audio to work in Android at the moment? It works in Neko and Windows but segfaults on Android when I try to play a sound. The code I’m using is this:

var buffer : AudioBuffer = Assets.getAudioBuffer( "default/test.ogg" );
var source : AudioSource = new AudioSource( buffer );
source.play();

and the error I currently get is this:

Indirect answer: it works in HaxeFlixel, which is built on top of Lime/OpenFL, so it works on Android.

#3

Do you know if HaxeFlixel uses standard or Legacy mode?

#4

I don’t, sorry. If you’re so inclined, you can read their source code over on GitHub and see for yourself.

Error with latest Lime master from Github - Cannot find primitives
#5

Hmmm it looks like they use legacy mode. Has anybody had success with audio on Android using the latest Lime in standard mode?

#6

I’ve just tried the SimpleAudio sample in lime samples and that also fails to run on Android. I’ll do a bit more digging when I get chance but @singmajesty or another one of the dev team could you let me know if this is supposed to be working on Android or if this is still in development?
