[android-developers] Re: Streaming MP3 Playback Problems on Android 2.2
Just got the Android 2.2.1 update on the Nexus one and this bug is still not fixed. What should I do now Google?

[android-developers] Re: Streaming MP3 Playback Problems on Android 2.2
Since there is still no fix to the Froyo audio streaming problems, what is a dev like me supposed to do? Anyone (particularly from Google) have any ideas?
