Yes, or they directly use the public, simple playback API that Android
provides (which indeed would be rather uninteresting for us).

Yes, it will just be not very trivial because it's a C++ API which makes
using dlopen() and friends a bit difficult... and directly linking to it
is rather risky because the ABI (and even API) might change in
incompatible ways between devices and Android versions.
