Oboe

Oboe is currently in developer preview.

Oboe is a C++ library which makes it easy to build high-performance audio apps on Android. It was created primarily to allow developers to target a simplified API that works across multiple API levels back to API level 16 (Jelly Bean).

Note: This version (0.9) of Oboe only supports playback (output) streams. Support for recording (input) streams is in active development.

Get started with Oboe here.
