Tcplay library is not option here, it supports only XTS mode containers and
even implements this mode locally (cryptsetup avoids to implement cryptographic
primitives, it always use libraries). Current version uses kernel crypto even
for LUKS (while there is still fallback).
There are two options - either try to use existing library like gcrypt (and
implement at least basic support or required modes) or just allow to use
userspace kernel crypto in Android. I strongly prefer the second variant. But
this is question for Android OS developers...
If you prefer tcplay, why not simple use Android compiled version of it?

Actually I prefer cryptsetup :)

Alright, I was able to build cryptsetup with kernel userspace crypto support at
last.
Yet the problem is that depending on the device on which cryptsetup will be
installed, the feature might not work. It depends whether the kernel of that
device has the necessary modules or not.
Thanks for your help.
