John-Marc, I have not done this myself, but here is tutorial on how to do it: http://blog.pocketjourney.com/2008/04/04/tutorial-custom-media-streaming-for-androids-mediaplayer/
They actually create new MediaPlayer object upon every update to the buffer file and point this new MediaPlayer to the updated buffer every single time. I would test calling MediaPlayer.reset() first instead of creating new player object every time, to see whether time and memory consumed by such solution is a bit better.
