Right, but until there is a proper fix (and to provide workarounds for
other unforeseen problems), it would be nice to have the dials in a
form other than source code.

And I should clarify my statement: the whole point of buffering is to
smooth out uneven source performance. I don't want anyone to think
that buffering will help when the source bandwidth is just too slow
for the content in the steady-state. That is not the case here.
