+
+<p>AudioHardwareInterface serves as the glue between proprietary audio drivers and the Android AudioFlinger service, the core audio service that handles all audio-related requests from applications.</p>

+<a name="androidAudioBuildingDriver"></a><h2>Building an Audio Library</h2>
+
+<p>To implement an audio driver, create a shared library that implements the interface defined in <code>AudioHardwareInterface.h</code>. You must name your shared library <code>libaudio.so</code> so that it will get loaded from <code>/system/lib</code> at runtime. Place libaudio sources and <code>Android.mk</code> in <code>partner/acme/chipset_or_board/libaudio/</code>.</p>
+<p>The following stub <code>Android.mk</code> file ensures that <code>libaudio</code> compiles and links to the appropriate libraries:</p>
+
+<pre class="prettify">
+LOCAL_PATH := $(call my-dir)
+include $(CLEAR_VARS)
+
+LOCAL_MODULE := libaudio
+
+LOCAL_SHARED_LIBRARIES := \
+ libcutils \
+ libutils \
+ libmedia \
+ libhardware
+
+LOCAL_SRC_FILES += MyAudioHardware.cpp
+
+LOCAL_CFLAGS +=
+
+LOCAL_C_INCLUDES +=
+
+LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES += libaudiointerface
+
+include $(BUILD_SHARED_LIBRARY)
+</pre>
