None succeeded ? But we did for the following formats: mp3, m4a, mp4 and 3gp (and also amr files generated by the sound capture built in intent). Local files on sdcard always work with me. Remote files work only if they are hinted for streaming (automatic with mp3). You can hint a mp4 based file (m4a mp4 3gp) with the shell command MP4Box $file -hint on Linux (package gpac, if you use ubuntu or debian, you must add medibuntu repository). MP4Box also exists on Windows (free) or you can use Quick Time Pro to reencode them if you have it.
