Yes. Have you reproduced? After a few more tests, I think that the problem appears if the buffer goes empty while playback regardless of why. Then as soon as a piece of data is written on it, that piece is immediately consumed for playback leaving the buffer empty again. And there it seems to be stuck in that loop showing buffering/playing one second each approx with small percentages shown. When playing I copied large files across the WLAN to put load on it, and then the player kept stuttering in the loop even though network capacity later had returned. Even in HSPA, there can be small periods with low throughput. If that is enough for the player to empty its buffer, there we go again. Stuck there even though network is improved. It was now a while ago, but I have seen it also when I connect to an internet radio station where the data from the stream initially appears low. That happened mostly with shoutcast streams. If I am on a mobile network, then if I press |<< or >>| it sometimes happen as well. If the buffer is allowed to fill up slightly more before playing, then that might help (in addition to what you write in your comment)? Or what do you think? Or if the user could do some configuration of a threshold value here if this is device-dependent. It is very hard to give exact instructions to reproduce since it all depends on network conditions. And probably on my device as well.
