I assume that you have all the needed information about the streams
which you are going to play which means you have also the length
information of the stream. When you start the stream start also a
timer on your mobile device and run it down. If you pause the stream,
try to retrieve the actual position from your player where the stream
is stopped.
I would avoid sending any information about current position
information over Wifi because in worse case you won't be accurate. You
should consider that your TCP connection is only from type BEST and
your Wifi channel might get congested).
