We're trying to play midi sound using MMAPI on 6600 and other s60 phones. We mange to play them alright, however, we experience slight delays during playback. The game just halts for a second and then continues.

I could not find such a bug listed on the Nokia known issues document And I'm looking for a solution for this.

Should I do the midi playback in a thread? is there a simple solution for this?

I think it may be taking time to create instance of Player at the time of playing the sound.thats why it is stopping for a while.

I create the Player as a static array of Player at the initialization of the game, each entry of the array has a different Player which I prefetch() ant the initialization. I have about 12 different short sounds in the game.

Every time I play a sound, I first stop the last sound played (in case it is still running) an then play the new sound. Is it possible that the stop() changes the status of the prev sound to UNREALIZED or REALIZED, which might make it halt the game the next time I play that sound (it have to make it PREFETCHED again)? or maybe the gc might have changed the status of the Player? Is it possible to force the Player to be PREFETCHED at all times (until destruction...)?

Do you think a thread will help here?

I checked the game on the SonyErrcsson Z1010 and it works great there.

Thanks
