Hello...again. I have discovered a bit more information about my issue. It seems that streams coming from shoutcast servers are not supported. Which is exactly the kind of server that is serving the streams I'm trying to play through my app. I would really love to hear some feedback on whether this issue is known, being resolved, etc. According to this thread I found, there is a fix but the phone has to be rooted. This thread is as recent as today and people are still having issues.
