That's part of the fun :) I would propose to focus on a very simple audio-centric use-case for now and somewhat leave more sophisticated out of the picture for now. >> [2.] Provide an implementation of the API in platform-api/android (see >> http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~phablet-team/platform-api/trunk/files/head:/android/) > > Ah, thanks for the pointer.
