MMAPI audio mixing is supported.
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 is supported by MIDI_DEVICE_LOCATOR locator
(device://midi).
Tone player and Manager.playTone() use
MIDI instead of simple beep tones.
OMA DRM 1.0 is supported 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 any
more.
New MIDI player controls: StopTimeControl, TempoControl, MIDIControl, PitchControl, and RateControl
New tone player controls: TempoControl, MIDIControl, PitchControl,
and RateControl
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.
