title: How to tell the Android Emulator to use an external hardware device (e.g. a microphone)?
body: <p>Is it possible to tell the Android Emulator to use external hardware?
  In my case, I want to use a Microphone for input for an app I'm developing...</p>
  
  <p>I know about the Emulator start-up commands, but I can't seem to get these working...</p>
  
  <p>Is there anybody who can tell me more about how to use the start-up commands trough Eclipse? Or how to determine which backend I have to specify when using let's say the <code>-audio-in &lt;backend&gt;</code> start-up command...</p>
  
  <p>I really need this to work, as I can't debug on the phone I use to test my apps...</p>
