Phonegap 3.0 Media API - Broken?

I am trying to play and audio file in Phonegap 3.0, working on Windows, android platform, debugging in Eclipse.

I am trying to upgrade my working, with no errors, app to 3.0 and am having many problems.

For example, when I play a sound, it plays, then I get a file rename error on a non-existent tmp file from the MediaRecorder API?? However, I am not calling any rename or record.

Here is the log. As you can see the sound file plays fine, then for some reason the MediaRecorder gets called and it trys to rename a tmp file that does not exist. Bare in mind my code has not changed during the upgrade so there is no reason for any of these errors. I am following the media play API from the 3.0 documentation. I also get new Thread Warning errors. The sound file I am playing is a short clip under 100KB.

Plugin has been added using the CLI tool, I have added the feature code to the config.xml file and I have added the permissions to the manifest file. I have read that others are having this problem and there does not seem to be any solution.

I feel your pain. I spent a LOT of time getting audio and video playback to work on iOS and ANDROID in my PhoneGap app ... was nearly in tears by time I got things working. Once I got on the other side of that I did what I could to extract the core functionality to a standalone set of files so I could revisit/reuse in future. Feel free to take a look and test out if you want:

BTW - the functionality here does use the PhoneGap Media API for audio when possible. Let me know if this helps at all.
