[android-developers] MediaPlayer HTTP streaming buffering: any settings?

Hello, I'm developing an app which plays MP3 streams over HTTP.

MediaPlayer seems to suit this task great, except one thing: pre-
buffering delay.
It takes 2-3 minutes from setting up to actual audio being output.
The stream is narrow: 16kbps; if I use wider stream, delay becomes
shorter, so this looks like a fixed-set buffering.

I also managed to make WinAmp working with same stream at ~5-10
seconds delay: 32kB buffer; 50% pre-buffer.

Is there any way to control how MediaPlayer is buffering?

Thanks.
