>             Project: Apache Cordova
>          Issue Type: Improvement

> Using the plugin, cordova-plugin-media, one can stream audio/video media. On the iOS front, streaming media can take anywhere from 8-10 seconds to start playing, even if the length of the media is < 10 mins. 
> The culprit here is `automaticallyWaitsToMinimizeStalling` property, that seems to buffer a more than required amount of the media causing load time delays. In some cases, it actually downloads the entire media file before starting and on slow internet connections this can mean load times of > 15 seconds.
> Disabling this property should make iOS media load times to almost instant as it will only buffer a default/set amount.
