audio.loadStream() working the first time, but when I stop the music and try to reload and play, it plays 1 second then dies.

title says most of it, but additional information would be:

  • The idea naturally isa button to toggle music on and off.
  • It works in the simulator.
  • I am using the additional {bufferSize=8192, maxQueueBuffers=12, startupBuffers=4, buffersQueuedPerUpdate=2} code I saw in other help threads in the loadStream().
    I have tried two variants of the code, doing (assume all parameters are verified and correct):
  • audio.loadStream()
  • audio.play()
  • audio.stop()

then to restart it I was simply calling audio.play() again.

  • audio.loadStream()
  • audio.play()
  • audio.stop()
  • audio.dispose()

then to restart it I call loadStream() and audio.play() again.

Each time the result is the same.
The first time hte music plays fine in the apple devices, and stops when I click the buttun. But when I try to play it again, it only plays the first second or so of the MP3.

Any help most gratefully accepted.

That sounds like the infamous iOS 5 OpenAL regression bug. You must be using the latest version of Corona for the workaround.
