This is the whole point of buffering. :-)

I was arguing in my OP that you can't have hard-coded settings for the
ringbuffer that are one-size-fits-all, because they're going to make
*somebody* unhappy: either the person who complains that seeking is
too sluggish, or the person (like me) who can't even play a particular
video from a local SSD without pauses. The default settings are fine
for 95% of cases, but the other 5% need to be able to turn dials.
