I want to play a simple short tone (150ms) with as low latency as possible. Reading around it seems that the simplest solution is to use SoundPool.
I've also read that in Android 4.1 support for OpenSL ES was introduced, which uses a lower latency audio output path. http://source.android.com/devices/latency_design.html
So my question is does SoundPool make use of this low latency audio path? Or is the only way to access this feature via OpenSL ES and the NDK?
