Hi,
I came to know that android doesn’t work with mp3 stream over rtsp.
What all alternatives are there so that I can support audio streaming for android devices.
Any suggestions will be very helpful

Some do I think, but older ones don’t. Sorry I missed that in other post. Anyway, AAC audio is the preferred codec in this and most cases.
