I have been trying to play an audio stream (a shout cast stream) on my android application using AMBIENCE (a sound library with services written to play a url). Ambience uses native android player for playback yet it provides a wrapper for playback related functions. The issue is I have been facing delays in streaming i.e the stream plays but after an interval of 2 to 3 minutes. The library works fine on mp3 files but delays loading in shoutcast stream.
I need help if any one can advice a solution which can load streams more quickly than this.
