Plans for Android 14 bit-perfect audio support
I noticed this section in the Android 14 Beta 2 announcement:
Lossless USB audio Android 14 gains support for lossless audio formats for audiophile-level experiences over USB wired headsets. You can query a USB device for its preferred mixer attributes, register a listener for changes in preferred mixer attributes, and configure mixer attributes using a new AudioMixerAttributes class. It represents the format, such as channel mask, sample rate, and behavior of the audio mixer. The class allows for audio to be sent directly, without mixing, volume adjustment, or processing effects. We are working with our OEM partners to enable this feature in devices later this year.
This would be very helpful for the users of my app, but I don't know if I would have to put in the work to implement this myself, or if ExoPlayer/media3 would automatically handle it for me. Clarification here would be appreciated.
