That's so odd -- I have an ES1371 and I listen to MP3s on it literally
all day long.  Just tried your audioplay example with a raw linear audio
file freshly ripped from Phish:Hampton Comes Alive, and it plays great, no
hangs, no pauses.

Note, I have a different codec on my ES1371 than you do.  Maybe that's the
difference?
