If a have a faster WIFI connection, it usually blocks for one to three seconds. Since the AudioPlayer provides a listener to get notified once it has started/stopped, I would expect the methods to return immediately. Maybe a dedicated thread in Android is needed to circumvent the blocking. Have not tested it on iOS.\n\nNine seconds of blocking is quite bad since the entire UI blocks as well.\n",
