Froyo ROMs have seem to promoted complaints about audio streamings issues, in apps like Pandora or SiriusXM.

There was a temporary fix identified.

To fix it:
Edit build.prop (pull it to your comp using adb or fix with root explorer)
Find media.stagefright.enable-player=true
Edit media.stagefright.enable-player=false
Save it and reboot.. this has fixed my issues with all streaming

who found this fix? are there any side effects?

Somebody over at xda-developers found the fix. I applied it last week and have yet to find any ill effects. My Pandora sounds great again. Any media on my phone plays normal as well.

As mentioned a member at XDA found it I've been using it and it has fixed quality issues and the annoying loop issue in the SiriusXM app.

I posted it here because I couldn't find it anywhere on the forum of cvps I know a few others using sapphire mentioned the problem.

Is that a typo for the Edit? Should it be 'stagefright.media-player:false'?

gonna try it now. i wonder if this will fix the looping i've been experiencing in the mlb at bat app...

/edit

i have sapphire .0.9.5 with the market fix from .0.8.4 applied, and the closest thing i see is:

Code:
media.stagefright.enable-player=true

Yes that is an error correct code is
media.stagefright.enable-player=false

And this fix will generally fix all streaming audio issues

Yeah, I am also on Sapphire 0.9.5 and I see 4 things similar to the entry in the op:
media.stagefright.enable-player=true
media.stagefright.enable-meta=true
media.stagefright.enable-scan=true
media.stagefright.enable-http=true

Should I set them all to false, just set enable-player to false, or am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT:
It looks like media.stagefright.enable-player=true is the one that must be edited and the others don't matter.

Can this be done using terminal emulator? Not too familiar with adb.

Yeah, just use terminal emulator to copy /system/build.prop to your sd card, then browse to it with any file manager (like astro) and open it with the text editor, change the line and save changes, then use terminal emulator to push it back to /system and reboot your phone. I actually did the whole thing with root explorer but terminal emulator should work fine.

OK - apologies for the n00b question, but how do I us TE to copy to the SD card?
