Streaming does not reconnect after losing/switching network temporarily

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I often stream while driving, and I've noticed that often the app will lose its 
connection but then refuse to reconnect automatically. This seems to be 
correlated with HSPA+<-->3g<--->EDGE transitions in either direction, but I 
can't be sure since I'm paying attention to the road when this happens.

If I (or a passenger) hits play on the station again, then the stream restarts 
just fine. However, I really wish the app would handle this gracefully and pick 
back up whenever it got a good connection back.

(Sometimes it does seem to recover, but most of the time I have to manually 
restart the stream)

Does our new resume functionality handle this case?, Justin

Yes, I implemented the error handling on the connection to try to handle this 
problem.  The code should recover when it does, though I've really only tested 
the wifi<->3g transitions.  Note that I think the OS often fails to make the 
transitions as quickly as we would like, though.  

On a related note, I've read a few things that make it sound like Ice Cream 
Sandwich does a much better job with the connection, but I haven't worked with 
it in person yet.

Marking as duplicate then.
