I wonder what is the support of audio codecs in Android devices .

Here I found that 2.3 and 4.0 support only mp3 codec:

Although I tested android 2.3 on Galaxy S and I found that it also plays ogg vorbis format.

The same thing with 4.x phones.

Here the test I done http://twigit.pl/trash/test_mac.html

Where I could find the reliable resource regarding mobile support of audio codecs ?

Thank you very much in advance.

Answer 1

This is the official list of supported media formats in Android:

http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html

Table 1 shows that Vorbis decoder is supported on all Android versions.

Nevertheless, media codecs that are not guaranteed to be available on all Android platform versions and on all Android devices. I.e., some OEMs can build their own Android ROMs without support of some particular codes (Vorbis or any other).

That is called a platform fragmentation.
