From S60 2nd Edition FP3 to S60 3rd Edition

• Mixing

  MMAPI audio mixing is supported. See section Audio mixing for details.

• Dynamic property querying

  audio.encodings and video.encodings contents are now discovered on-the-fly and should therefore correspond better to all device supported content types.

• Interactive MIDI

  Interactive MIDI is supported by MIDI_DEVICE_LOCATOR locator (device://midi). See section MIDI for details.

• Tones played as MIDI

  Tone player and Manager.playTone() use MIDI instead of simple beep tones.

• DRM support

  MMAPI supports OMA DRM 1.0 for audio.

• A limited number of Players can exist simultaneously

  Creating a player with Manager.createPlayer or prefetching a player throws MediaException after the limit has been reached. The limit depends on current system resource usage and is a moving target. It is advised that you not have many players existing at the same and that you explicitly close any players that are not used anymore.

• New MIDI player controls: StopTimeControl, TempoControl, MIDIControl, PitchControl, and RateControl

• New tone player controls: TempoControl, MIDIControl, PitchControl, and RateControl

• Camera alarm sounds

  A single alarm tone is played at the beginning of a video recording. When a video snapshot (a photograph) is taken, a camera shutter sound is played.
