Android Media Player Bug?

Earlier today I was creating a log file to help the LauncherPro developer identify a bug. However, when creating this log I noticed the following messages running constantly and very quickly:

V/MediaPlayerService( 60): [32] isPlaying: 0
V/MediaPlayer( 604): isPlaying: 0
V/MediaPlayerService( 60): [32] isPlaying: 0
V/MediaPlayer( 604): isPlaying: 0
V/MediaPlayerService( 60): [32] isPlaying: 0
V/MediaPlayer( 604): isPlaying: 0
V/MediaPlayerService( 60): [32] isPlaying: 0
V/MediaPlayer( 604): isPlaying: 0
V/MediaPlayerService( 60): [32] isPlaying: 0
V/MediaPlayer( 604): isPlaying: 0
V/MediaPlayerService( 60): [32] isPlaying: 0
V/MediaPlayer( 604): isPlaying: 0
V/MediaPlayerService( 60): [32] isPlaying: 0
V/MediaPlayer( 604): isPlaying: 0

It seems like this is a bug and wastes battery life.
 
I just noticed this too while I was just farting around with adb, decided to do a logcat just to watch...

V/MediaPlayerService( 322): [67] isPlaying:0
V/MediaPlayerService( 322): [67] isPlaying:0
V/MediaPlayerService( 322): [67] isPlaying:0
V/MediaPlayerService( 322): [67] isPlaying:0
V/MediaPlayerService( 322): [67] isPlaying:0
V/MediaPlayerService( 322): [67] isPlaying:0
you get the picture...

*update*
Killed a few things here and there, and found it is pandora that is the culpret.. Really odd. Must be using the media player as a piggy back service or something.
 
I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I don't think it would hurt to share. I tried to create a custom ringtone from an .mp3 using the Music program, and I wanted to trip the clip. However, it never fully "loaded" the screen, only the background and the two ends of the clip bar. This absolutely destroyed my battery life, and I finally fixed it by clearing the cache.

Hope this helps a bit.
