Description

Hi,

My code is simple : every click triggers a sound play.
****
url = "/android_asset/www/"+url;
AUDIO_OBJECTS[url] = new Media( url,
//success callback
function ()

{ console.log("playAudio():Audio Success"); }

,
//error callback
function (err)

{ alert("playAudio():Audio Error code : " + err.code + " stringified : "+JSON.stringify(err)) }

);
AUDIO_OBJECTS[url].play();
****
This works well ! Until a certain number of click, maybe 20. My sounds are various mp3, from 1 second length to 10.
After about 20 clicks, the sound is not played anymore.
I have to exit the app and come back, sometimes it works again, sometimes not.
Also, sometimes it fires the error callback with error code "0" ...
On my Nexus 9 (same code), it works well, audio never breaks, but sometimes it struggles a bit before the sound is correctly played.
