I am developing a android game in C++ and the sound engine is using FMOD, I want to record sound of game, but I can only get a handle from FMOD by the function `FMOD_RESULT System::getOutputHandle(void **handle)` , so how do I get all the sound data output from my game?

i can use the handle to get the sound data by call IOS function `AudioUnitAddRenderNotify( handle, handleRenderNotifyCallback, (__bridge void*)self );` , but what can i do the same thing in Android?

There is a `recording_playback.cpp` example provided with the installation of the FMOD Studio API. The iOS example should give you some insight into how this works in recording the output.
