[android-developers] media player not looping properly

Hi all,

I'm trying to play a looping background track in my app and it doesn't
loop.
The track starts playing and once it reaches the end all I hear is a
weird crackly sound for a split second and then nothing else.
Logcat doesn't show anything useful at the time. No errors/warning/
exceptions/etc.

Here's how I'm doing it...
During initialisation I call this:

public static MediaPlayer MEDIA_PLAYER;

private static boolean initMusicPlayer(InGameView p_inGameView)
{
MEDIA_PLAYER = MediaPlayer.create(p_inGameView.getContext(),
R.raw.bgmusic);
MEDIA_PLAYER.setOnErrorListener(
new MediaPlayer.OnErrorListener() {
public boolean onError(MediaPlayer p_mp, int p_what, int
p_extra)
{
Log.e("MEDIA_PLAYER", "ERROR: MediaPlayer: (" + p_what +")
with extra (" + p_extra +")" );
return false;
}
});

MEDIA_PLAYER.setLooping(true);

return true;
}

Then, in the surfaceChanged of my InGameView (i.e. when things are
good to go), I call

MEDIA_PLAYER.start();

Can you guys see anything wrong with the above? Any ideas what could
be causing this?
All help greatly appreciated.

cheers,
kk.
