Description

After updating the Media Plugin from 2.4.0 to 3.0.1 some users cant record and play back audio files anymore. The first user was running Android 5.0.1 a software update to 6.0 did fix it for him. Now i got another report from a user running Android 4.4.2 experiencing the same issue.
The code for the audio recording is:

        var src = "myrecording.amr";
        var mediaRec = new Media(src, onSuccess, onError);
        mediaRec = new Media(src, onSuccess, onError);
        mediaRec.startRecord();
        //...wait some seconds
       mediaRec.stopRecord();
       mediaRec.play();
