Comment 4 for bug 1449719

I can confirm having the same issue, in one particular session. I was finding that Podbird would stop play once the phone locked..
For example:-

I unlock the phone, set Podbird playind. after about 20 seconds the screen dims, and then goes off ( as expected ) Then 1 minute later Podbird stops playing...
Push the button to bring the screenlock up and Podbird starts playing again.. Rinse and Repeat as a above.

I am also finding that Podbird simply stops playing, and there seems nothing I can do to get it to start again, even restarting / rebooting the phone Podbird refuses to start. Then a while later it returns to playing weird..

I've also got odd behaviour with network switch over, but I'll report those details on Bug 1446859
