OpenAL-Soft OpenSL Backend Now Supports Audio Capture

Post by Dr. Peeps »

It was announced a few days ago over on the OpenAL-Soft repository that audio capture has now been added to the OpenSL backend, which means that LÖVE 0.11 should be able to capture audio on Android devices. This is great news (for me, at least!). :awesome:

However, I have no idea when/how updates in supporting libraries like this tend to get incorporated into LÖVE builds. Does anyone know when we might see this new functionality? I'd love to help out with the testing of it.

You can always make your own build, just swap out bundled openal for updated one.

You can expect the next release version to have those in - 0.11 or 0.10.3, whichever comes first.

Thats really awesome and helpful. I really wish that the next love2d update would add that functionality.

Awesome. I'm already running on the 0.11 pre-release builds though, so I guess what I meant to ask is: how soon might the OpenAL update appear there?

I know, but it looks like there are a lot of steps involved in building for Android, and all I want to do is some simple testing for now ... so I'm happy to patiently wait for someone else to build it for me. :megagrin:

I guess you'll have to bug slime or bartbes for that, and then whoever maintains Android builds.
