I'm about to implement an app consuming live-stream radio station resources. I've tested the same url on various platforms and noticed that versions from 2.2 to 4.0 take a lot more time to prepare while versions below those are almost instantly playing (haven't tested for 3.0 versions thought). I suppose it's somehow related to buffer size evaluation for live-streams which is mentioned here and here.
What can I do to provide the same pre 2.2 instant preparation for all android devices ? Thanks.
P.S. Android 4.0 prepares as good as 2.1 version - instantly.
