Althought the iOS issues in the encoder were solved, there is one more thing – in the related FWSoundMixer for iOS, which is going to be released as well in the next batch. Everything is working fine, except for when recording with microphone. As soon as sound mixer starts recording microphone, the rest of the audio playback goes laggy. This results in more strange things as a result when playing back the video(mic being my favorite thing – out of sync 🙂 ).
I’m not entirely sure, but it seems to me when using SampleDataEvent for both microphone recording and also as callback for making sound mixer perform “audio step” creates some kind of collision. In other words, SampleDataEvent with microphone capture and SampleDataEvent for playing PCM sound (you can do both), when used together on iOS seem to cause lags. On desktop I cannot either notice it or the CPU is so powerful it’s just not apparent. Also, I might be just doing something wrong.
Right now trying to find a workaround either by eliminating the SampleDataEvent for audio recording or trying to record microphone natively, even that seems to be problematic as expected (fight with AIR over microphone ensues probably). Resolving microphone is important for integration into several apps that I’m about to do.
