We use Icecast streaming server to jPlayer on our website and also used on our mobile app. I was trying to add an <intro> to the Icecast config, but when I do, it presents an issue on mobile devices. Whenever the phone has an interruption causing a temporary disconnect, like a call that comes in, the stream repeats what you started listening to when you first connected to the stream, after the intro plays again of course. For instance, if I start the stream listening to one show or song, a call comes in and ends, the intro plays on the reconnect and the stream plays from where I initially started listening.
I have played with Icecast queue and burst settings up and down and none at all, and tried different formats, the same result. I've also had conversations on a couple of other streaming related posts and have been told it seems the issue is with the client buffer and player, which I did not set up. I took a look at our stream-player.js, it is jPlayer 2.9.2 with the following tacked on to the end at line 3507:

Although I'm primarily a linux developer with most of my programming experience in Perl and PHP, and do know jQuery pretty well dealing with my web development, I'm surely a novice when it comes to jPlayer or even audio streaming. I was hoping someone could spot something in hte code above that could contribute to the issue we have when adding an intro to our Icecast 2.4.4 stream?
Our streams are available at the URL below, I have the intro on our HD4 stream at the moment.
streaming player
The issue is easily duplicated by starting the stream and listening a bit until the song changes, call the phone letting it interrupt the stream, then hang up. This will cause the first song listened to be playing again after the intro.
I believe the codec is a match, I did have an issue getting the intro to work until I formatted as MP3 128Kbps bit rate 44.1KHz sampling and 2 channel stereo. Here is the intro file info:
