Android audio stream download?

Question

Android

There is a task to play a stream on an Android device that is broadcast from an ip address.
I used standard tools and player:

mediaPlayer.setDataSource(url);
mediaPlayer.prepare()
mediaPlayer.start();

The above code completes the task, but it happens within a minute, since this is a long time for current purposes, please suggest a solution that will speed up this process.
Thank you )

I think for these purposes it is better to use a specialized library BASS Audio Library . MediaPlayer thing is almost unmanageable. The BASS version for Android is downloaded here . Inside the archive there is an example called NetRadio. There is also GStreamer , but it is very large and harder to use.
