             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: Bug

Hi Simon/Phonegap team,

I have been facing an issue with Media object while playing live streaming (shoutcast). It looks like Media object's error function does not get called if the URL fails to return valid stream (bytes) but does return status code 200 (OK). The LOG CAT clearly shows that there is an error and Media cannot be played but this error message does not get forwarded to the media error function and Media object dies silently. The error function only gets called when I try to call Media.Stop() function.

I tested the same URL on Chrome, that implicitly uses HTML5 Audio object, and it seems like in case they do not get valid stream but 200 (OK), the Audio object keeps on trying and stops until it gets audio stream back. I used fiddler and can see Audio object calls the same URL again and again until it gets response with stream. 

So my questions here are,

1) Can we make Media object works the same way HTML5 Audio control works?

2) Can we force Media object to call error function in case there is any error (just after play).

I am hoping that you can help me on this.
