title: Android Audio Streaming Very Slow
body: <p>I am developing an android audio streaming application. I am using androids mediaplayer prepareAsync() in my service class.</p>
  
  <p>However the streaming is very slow in Android 2.3 gingerbread. It works fine on Android 2.2 and 4.0 (around 5-6 seconds), but takes around 80 seconds on 2.3.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any alternative radio streaming client that i can use.</p>
  
  <p>I am referring Android Random Music Player Code for this application development.
