Question

protected MediaPlayer _mediaPlayer;  

protected void playFromResource(int resId)     
    {     
    if (_mediaPlayer != null)         
        {         
        _mediaPlayer.stop();         
        _mediaPlayer.release();
        }     
    _mediaPlayer = MediaPlayer.create(this, resId);
    _mediaPlayer.start();
    }  

This code used to work fine on both the emulator and on devices. Since some time (I think it is since I updated to ADT r10) it only works on devices. On the emulator there is no sound anymore and the application freezes when it pass on _mediaPlayer.release() (the second time the function is called). I was able to keep the application from crashing by replacing the stop() and release() by reset() but it does not solve the main issue: There is no sound on the emulator.

the log file show me a bunch of these (only on the emulator) just after the call to start()

Any clues ????

Looks like the issue is only on my computer. I just tryed it on another computer and it work fine. I had some issues when I upgraded to r10 of ADT. Maybe there is something wrong in my development setup.
