Wav stream fails - Prepare failed.: status=0x1

[nbonwit]

Hello,

We are streaming audio via http from ffserver/ffmpeg on Angstrom
Linux. The ffmpeg audio codec is PCM signed 16-bit little endian
"pcm_s16le". The ffmpeg stream format is "wav". Both of these are
claimed to be supported on Android here:
http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html#core

Vlc finds and plays the stream without any problems.
Under VLC "Codec Details", it says:
Type: Audio, Codec: PCM S16 LE (araw)
Channels: Stereo
Sample rate: 48000 Hz
Bits per sample: 16.

We built the simple test application below to pick up and play the
stream in Android and get this error: java.io.IOException: Prepare
failed.: status=0x1

We checked the HTTP header using HTTP Debugger Pro.

The Response Header items (when playing normally via VLC) are:
[Response]: HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Pragma: no-cache
Content-Type: audio/x-wav

We have been searching the web for help on this issue for over two
days and have come up empty-handed. Any help would be *greatly*
appreciated.

Thanks,
Neville
