Answer 1

I've had Ogg Vorbis music files that the internal Android player wouldn't play and I've found that removing all the Tags embedded in the file solved the problem. Variable bit rate and high bit rate doesn't seem to be the issue for me. The issue seems to be that the internal Android player chokes if the Ogg Vorbis file contains tags in certain formats. I haven't figured out precisely which tags in which formats are the problem. Some work. Some don't. I'll keep looking into the issue.

According to this post, you need to play ogg files with constant bitrate. Variable bitrate will cause SoundPool to crash.

There is a bug report about the same error message, but a different cause, here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=13453
