Hi,
I have got several android devices (HTC Legend; Asus Transformer) and also a media player box (Freebox) that supports both AirPlay and Upnp.
I am very disappointed to see that Android (out of the box, or any app) does not support streaming the raw audio output from this devices to the air (Wifi).
I mean, there are (billions) of apps out there that pretend to be able to share your media with DLNA.
They work more or less.
But it seems not possible to send the very output of the sound card other the Air.
Hence, it is not possible to stream Spotify,Grooveshark,SoundCloud,Youtube .. music to my nice Wifi devices.
iPhone/Pad users are able to send their audio through the Air, since AirPlay is built-in iOS.
Why couldn't I ?
After some research, I found why there is no such app on Android market :
It seems that the Android API purposely prevent from recording / accessing the low level audio output.
It might be to prevent people from ripping / downloading music that is only streamed to them.
So my question is :
Is there some work done to enable output audio capture / streaming for rooted devices ?
Either with an App or in alternative mod (Cyanogen ?)
Please point me to some resource, or advice me where I could post
a feature request for Cyanogen.
Thanks in advance,
Raphael
