Someone who does a lot of audio work would know more than I do about it, but it used to be that
files could be saved in either "normal" mode or "streaming" mode. I didn't make the files I
used in a particular app, but they all streamed and playback started immediately while the rest
loaded in the background. If things haven't changed, maybe the file format is the culprit?

I should have said, the audio files being played are typically 30MB to 100MB,
and the freezing happens as soon as the filename URL is set and play is
supposed to begin.

Hi, this is probably a question for Panos.
My application plays audio files from a server using the player. Some users in
a academic environment are experiencing the application freezing when they play
audio. These are people in a university in China, where it seems the wireless
network gets choked up with simultaneous users doing things. When classes are
over, all works well. Also using a cellular connection works normally (but data
there is very expensive $$$ to use). Their Wifi seems to be underpowered. These
are files typically 30K to 100K.
1. Does the player buffer data such that it allows the playing to start before
the entire file is loaded?
2. If so, would reducing the minimum amount of buffering help with this issue?
3. If so, could there be a player setting to set the amount of required data
before playing begins?
Thanks!
