Analyzing the wave data of the currently played music track

I can't seem to find the proper audio source for recording/analyzing/receiving the currently played music track (or just any playing media). I'm not talking about the Mic.

The spectrum live wallpaper does this on the Nexus One AFAIK.

How can I keep receiving wave buffers of the currently playing media? (I would like to support everything from 1.5, but 2.1 specific solutions are also welcome)

Thank you!

  • The official MusicVisualizer wallpaper uses a hidden API MediaPlayer.snoop(). But apparently it's not exposed in the SDK:
