"Normal" Android Apps run on a Virtual Machine (kind of modified Java
VM). So no C code. Off course one can "root" teh device and install
Apps written in C or similar languages, after all it _is_ a sort of
stripped down linux. But Android devices usually don't have your 
average PC Inteloid processor (ARM is the core of choice) and 
perform significantly different for audio needs.
