Well, if you Google for "pandora froyo" you get a ton of pages with people having this problem (at least I believe it to be the same). One particularly insightful link is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737111 where they show you can fix the problem by reverting to the old OpenCore engine instead of the new StageFright media engine used in 2.2. This can only be done on rooted phones however...
There is alos this article: http://www.androidcentral.com/sirius-xm-app-updated-fix-froyo-bug - Apparently sirius app had this problem and fixed it somehow. Probably by changing the format to a lower bitrate on their server or something which is not available to me in my emusic app. I wish someone from the Android team would comment here and let us know what the appropriate route to take is. Is there a workaround we can implement now? Is an updated froyo release on the way for affected devices?
