Comment (by pbennett):

 Changing float secs_min to 1.5 is not acceptable. It uses a default
 bitrate of 8000 to calculate the amount of buffering to do. It calculates
 a reasonable approximation to 1.5 seconds on high bitrate HD, but on low
 bitrate channels such as audio only, it results in buffering and waiting
 for 15 - 30 seconds, and the frontend times out before it get started.

 My proposed patch forces a brief pause when the stutter condition is
 detected. There will be one or two brief pauses during the first 30
 seconds of Live TV, which I hope is better than continuous stuttering. See
 attached patch. Please try this out and give feedback on whether it is
 acceptable and whether it fixes the problem.
