Podcast playback constantly hiccups, sputters, and skips in 3.1.2
I was ecstatic about the release of os 3.1.2, since it fixed all the horrible crashing/coma problems I had with 3.0. However, the one respect in which it represented backward progress was in audio playback- specifically of podcasts. (Maybe all playback... most of what I listen to is podcasts, so this might be limited to long audio files?)
If I'm listening to a audio track and go to do something else- wake the phone from sleep, launch mail, launch Safari, or especially something processor-intensive like tweetdeck, the audio playback immediately starts to hiccup, stutter, repeat parts of words, skip sections, and sometimes just gets stuck looping a little portion like a broken record until the new app has fully launched and done whatever it needed to do. This is striking, because audio playback used to be completely rock solid in previous versions of the OS. The problem isn't limited to a particular podcast, so I'm not sure what else to try.
Is anyone else having this problem????
