    Abstract: Method carried out in a radio terminal for playing streaming media, which terminal includes a modem for connecting to a radio network, and a data streaming client including a streaming data buffer for receiving streaming data from a streaming data server through the radio network, the method comprising transferring data buffer size information from the streaming client to the modem; signaling the network, by means of the modem, to indicate streaming service initiation and data buffer size; buffering media data of a streaming media file received through the network according to a buffer scheme adapted dependent on the data buffer size; playing streaming media generated from buffered media data; and signaling the network, by means of the modem, to indicate streaming service termination. A buffer filling signal may be received from the network, which includes a recommendation of a suitable instance for buffer filling, wherein the buffer scheme may be determined dependent on the received signal.
