Why is WMP taking over 50MB of RAM?

I just noticed that WMP on my Topaz takes over 50MB of RAM, is this normal? I can't remember if it took this much on my Diamond.

I actually take up about 70 megs on a normal use basis

BufferedInputStream, BufferedInputStream available

Good day, I have a problem with BufferedInputStream.
Code:
String url = "some path";
URL feedUrl = new URL(url);
inputStream = feedUrl.openStream();
BufferedInputStream buffer = new BufferedInputStream(inputStream);
Log.v("buffer.available", String.valueOf(buffer.available()));
why I always have a buffer size 2KB ?

It's the default buffer size. Use the constructor that you can specify buffer size if you want something bigger.

I think den_4ik asked about why there is always 2KB, even if there should be e.g. 20KB of data.
public synchronized int available() throws IOException
Returns an estimate of the number of bytes (...)

You can't know how much data is still there - it's stream, you know. If you really need data size, then you could load it into some memory buffer. Also for some streams you could "guess" its size, e.g.: you could check file size for FileInputStream or if you are fetching data through HTTP protocol, then you could read its length from HTTP headers, etc.

increase buffer size
i want to increase the buffer size/time for streaming live audio
is it an app specific setting, ie., on each radio streaming app?
or is it a media player setting?
i know how to mod an apk
i just need to know where in an app, or music.apk for instance, the value would be set for how long or how much a stream will be buffered
i want to increase it enormously, sick of dropping audio while in a moving car
my theory is that if the buffer was bigger/longer, i wouldnt notice the drop out as often
i have searched
i have not found the answer

[SOLVED] Sound Recorder app

I think I missed something somewhere. I have working USB audio and I have the Sound Recorder app (thank you Renate!). Today my little mic arrived. I started things going, checked to make sure the USB audio device was recognized, plugged in the mic and started the Sound Recorder app.
"No device"
So.......I'm guessing that there is something over and above what is required for audio that I have missed somewhere?

I haven't gotten quite as far as you with the audio stuff (since I've been busy with school, I haven't done any sound recording testing yet), but let me do some research, and I'll try to get back to you.

You gotta dig deep.....
So here's how it's done:
1. Make sure ALSA utilities are present in /system/bin (chmod 755)
2. Extend permission to your audio device by modifying /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml
Code:
<permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" >
<group gid="sdcard_rw" />
[B]<group gid="audio" />[/B]
</permission>
This solves the problem with the Recorder.apk which uses ALSA entirely, bypassing the Android system. Unfortunately it does nothing for other apps which might like to use the mic like Skype or other recording apps.
That's a whole different thing. This is what Renate suggested as the requirements:
"For basic recording or Skype
Modify /system/lib/hw/libaudio.so
Code:
[00009188] B1 F5 FA 54 => 70 BD 00 BF
[000091EC] 6C 33 => 00 05
Patch /system/framework/framework.jar with AudioRecord.smali using mergesmali, in her signature, in Nook121patch"
My libaudio.so was in /system/lib so I placed a second copy in the directory listed above after I got no result.
I did these things to the best of my ability, and although I didn't get into a bootloop or brick situation , I also had no joy

I'll have to look into this again.
The Nook really didn't have the performance or the memory to do any long pro recording without dropping some samples some time.
The more modern devices I use don't have the same libs.
Where is it not working?
Those patches all do different things, some of them are more performance or sampling rate or whatever.
Can you get audio to play a wav file using aplay?
I have a note that this can be used to test record.
(Your arecord could be named whatever.)
Code:
arecord --disable-resample --disable-channels --disable-format -r 44100 -c 1 -f S16_LE -t wav -d 5 /sdcard/test.wav

I'm not sure I understand how to use that line of code. AFAIK I don't have "arecord" anywhere and it does not work as either an ADB or shell command. Or is it preceded by "aplay"?
Anyway, I can certainly play a wav file using the player from ES File Manager. Playback works in all cases, including wav files generated from your Recorder app.
What does not work is any other sort of recording app like Skype or a market voice/sound recorder. I've tried all kinds, including one that actually shows waveforms on the screen. Not sure those squiggles corresponded with anything I was doing with the mic, though.
It is odd because I could swear that playback from some of the market recorder apps often sounds like there is a VERY slow playback of a voice, albeit low volume. Lots of other low-level noises too, sometimes rhythmic.
I remember reading in another posting about buffer issues with something like Skype but I'm not even there as I get no evidence of a recording whatever.
I've checked my asound.conf file, so that's not the issue.

Ha! A partial victory is mine
That business of the really slow playback sound when trying Skype and other recording apps kept nagging at me. Almost like recording at one rate and playing back at another. I have run afoul of that before when using Audacity to edit/merge some separate audiobook files. They all have to be the same rate or you get funny playback rate effects.
So...back to THE source:
"Modify /system/lib/hw/alsa.default.so"
Code:
[00002268] 02 00 00 00 // format
[0000226c] 01 00 00 00 // channels
[B][00002270] 40 1F 00 00 => 44 AC 00 00 // rate[/B]
This is supposed to be for general playback and I just assumed that when I did the USB Host package installation this modification was part of it because I didn't have any playback problems. And it was except for the last change. Now I can record a test call with Skype. Still trying to remember which voice recording apps I tried from the Market that gave a similar effect, but I imagine when I find them they will work also.
Renate, we all love you.

The aplay or a_play or alsa_play are all part of the ALSA utils, a separate package that you can download from somewhere.
I really like the new Nook Glow Plus screen, dislike the frame, the case, the no buttons, the no SD card, the no Bluetooth
and the fact that we are back to square one with USB host mode that doesn't work.

Ah yes
For me the NST remains ideal save for one remaining obstacle: the silly kludge to tame the audio volume after a reboot. Otherwise it does everything I could want in a reader along with some fringe benefits. It's become a truly amazing little device thanks to the many clever people (like you) who have steadily pushed the envelope.
