  With the 2016.12 Android Player my game runs great. After I compile a custom player I get this error on Android studio Console.
  
  W/AudioTrack: dead IAudioTrack, PCM, creating a new one from obtainBuffer()
  I/ServiceManager: Waiting for service media.audio_flinger...
  I/ServiceManager: Waiting for service media.audio_flinger...
  I/ServiceManager: Waiting for service media.audio_flinger...

  Disconnected from the target VM, address: 'localhost:8638', transport: 'socket'
  
  Am I doing something wrong or is there a bug?

  It is certainly a bug, gideros shouldn’t crash that way. Can you post a log with more complete stack trace ? Also there is at least one identified bug in 2018.6: TTfont without character caching make gideros crash

  @hgy29 yes it is the font caching that causes the force close. After caching the fonts the problem gone but this time I do not get text.

  I have found and fixed the issue. i will try to build a 2918.6.1 soon, but meanwhile can you try with an empty caching string (“”) ?

  Just cached all letters and numbers. I noticed that it shows only capital letters.

  Guys, wouldn't 'Sprite:removeAllListeners()' command in Gideros be extremely convenient?
  
  (or maybe it wasn't introduced for a reason)
  It was mentioned several times earlier on forum

  I think so too, although I nowadays use listeners only when I have to, and use callbacks for everything else (because callbacks are a lot more efficient).

  Maybe it should be made a feature request on github, as it is easier to look there when I have spare time to improve gideros

  "[plugins] Make liquidfun a default plugin for Android"
  
  does it mean that it is turned on by default?

  I convert everything to wav/mp3 anyway, because I need to reduce their size as much as possible

  ogg this is a compressed format, wav - uncompressed

  I've heard that wav should be used for short sound effects, because it's uncompressed and plays instantly without delay. Mp3 is good only for background music.
  
  Is ogg format instant? Should we use it instead of wav?

  I've tested ogg files, here's what I have:

  local myOgg = Sound.new("5.ogg") --short sound, 1sec duration   local function playOgg() myOgg:play() --it doesn't work for me Soundchannel=myOgg:play(0,true) --it works, endless loop end stage:addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_DOWN,playOgg)

  I think it's bug after updating "[plugin / ogg] Implement setPosition and getLength"

  For sound effects using mp3 or ogg won't really make any noticeable difference to the player in my experience.
  
  Using ogg and mp3 for music however is always problematic because there is always a nasty gap in the audio when the tune repeats.
  
  Wav files seem to repeat without any gap but of course an uncompressed Wav file is gigantic compared to an mp3.

  @antix I do not have a nasty gap for repeating ogg

  I have also had a gap when an MP3 loops in all of my games, most noticeable on Android.

  @oleg very strange because I have never not had a gap. Also when using ogg and mp3 I have to use an on complete event to restart the music because it does not restart on some devices without that.

  does ogg support now everything that mp3 does? e.g. setPosition? thanks
