Noticed in logcat sound level set to zero too...

The play button does not update to pause button on press. It appears the play state is lost or mixed up. Hacking the volume level reveals that audio stream is actively playing.

I experience this issue on my phone. It seems perfect with FakeGPS, but then when I'm actually onsite it randomly has no audio.

[multidynamic]

@eosrei This sounds like it could be the issue where the user is in the area of de Young, but not close enough to get the audio? Can we narrow this down?

[hburgund]

For geo-listen projects, clients will only generate a unique custom audio stream on the server if the client is "within range" of the project. If the client is out of range, they will be given the static "out of range" stream url to play instead.

Project ranges are determined by 2x the max distance ranges of all active speakers associated with the project. Therefore, there is a area between 1x and 2x the speaker's max distance within which the client will be "within range", but there won't be any audio to hear. This was done so that users only slightly out of range (per their GPS) but with the intent of walking into range would be give the benefit of the doubt.

I have no idea if this is what is happening here; seems unlikely, actually, but I figured I'd give the background info regardless.

May be related to #39. Re-check after #39 is fixed.
