>As a side note, just check how many Android releases are they going through and yet real-audio support isn't quite there Actually, there is. As of Android 6.0 Google's CCD includes a section for Professional Audio devices If a device implementation meets all of the following requirements, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to report support for feature android.hardware.audio.pro via the android.content.pm.PackageManager class. The device implementation MUST report support for feature android.hardware.audio.low_latency. The continuous round-trip audio latency, as defined in section 5.6 Audio Latency, MUST be 20 milliseconds or less and SHOULD be 10 milliseconds or less over at least one supported path. If the device includes a 4 conductor 3.5mm audio jack, the continuous round-trip audio latency MUST be 20 milliseconds or less over the audio jack path, and SHOULD be 10 milliseconds or less over at the audio jack path. The device implementation MUST include a USB port(s) supporting USB host mode and USB peripheral mode. The USB host mode MUST implement the USB audio class. If the device includes an HDMI port, the device implementation MUST support output in stereo and eight channels at 20-bit or 24-bit depth and 192 kHz without bit-depth loss or resampling. The device implementation MUST report support for feature android.software.midi. If the device includes a 4 conductor 3.5mm audio jack, the device implementation is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED to comply with section Mobile device (jack) specifications of the Wired Audio Headset Specification (v1.1).
