Comment (by Github):

 RingBuffer: Low bitrate optimisations.

 This adds a special case operation for low bitrate streams (e.g. dvb
 radio and MHEG/interactive only) where the existing fill requirements
 were high enough that, for live tv and in-progress recordings, the
 buffer would not fill in time and playaback could and would fail.

 I've tried to ensure this is triggered only as needed but there is still
 the possibility that faulty bitrate detection may enable it (though even
 in that case there should, fingers crossed, be no adverse effects).

 There are still at least 2 other problems playing these very low.
 Initial stream scanning of MHEG only streams can take over 20 seconds -
 as the initial probe still requires 32Kb of data - and stopping playback
 is problematic as the decoder thread is not exiting correctly.
