One thing I don't understand is why we have a delay between starting
to write to the ringbuffer and displaying to the screen.

Isn't it possible to stream directly from the tuner to the frontend
while writing to the ringbuffer at the same time, and then only switch
to reading data from the ringbuffer when someone presses pause or
rewind?

This would get rid of the prebuffering pause that seems to account for
a large chunk of the delay.

What am I missing?
