Android: MediaRecorder @ Native code

Question

Playing with the MediaRecorder Java code I have found the MediaRecorder class to be quite limited, there is no way to control the media before it is encoded/compressed, and, there is no way to control the result, file, socket, transport:MPEG2-TS, MP4 'moof' position, ...

With windows enviroment DirectShow/MediaFoundation provide fine access and control of the media pipeline.

I wonder, is there any LowLevel NDK API for the MediaRecorder that enable some of the above mentioned functionality?

I would really like to avoid implementing a native C++ MediaRecorder my-self...

Any Help will B appreciated.
