Silent portion of an alarm tone suppressed

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I feel that an alarm tone which restarts promptly results in an insistent, even 
irritating feeling.
In order with cope with that I edited the midi file with my choice short tune, 
just introducing silence on its end.
Noted however that the app suppressed the silent portions, which became upon 
hearing the same as before.

Request:
Either to add the option of introducing an adjustable pause between repeats
or to allow tthe file to be played from beginning to end.

This application uses the built-in android media player library 
(http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/MediaPlayer.html).  It 
simply gives the media player a file name and sets it to repeat.  It does not 
have the capability of augmenting the sound file in anyway.

I'm not sure why your edited version of a midi file would not work.  However, 
there do seem to be a lot of bugs open for the media player library concerning 
midi files.  They don't seem to be supported very well.  Have you tried 
converting your file to a wav or mp3 file?  They seem to work better with this 
media player.

Can you attach the file that you're having trouble with?

I've deleted my former comment, since the MP3 file is played as it should.

Don't know why a ringtone other than the selected one was played earlier (my 
error, probably); repeated test a number of times and it's OK. Sorry if this 
diverted you.
