[GST] Add a buffer
Last modified: 2012-04-21 20:27:54 UTC
I'd like to request the ability to add a buffer in preferences, especially for online radio.
The xine-lib backend already has a buffer.

The GStreamer already uses a buffer as well. You want a way to adjust the size or something?
My apologies for being vague. I'd like to request a variable buffer to be added to preferences.

any reason to put an setting for the buffer? I think that users don't want to know about the buffer, this should "just work", no?
for most rhythmbox users, a short buffer is adequate because it only needs to keep up with local system load and disk throughput -- and a smart default should "just work" for them. users whose local libraries are network-mounted (over samba or nfs, for example) would benefit from the option to configure a much longer buffer to cover network congestion.
Marking all buffering-related bugs as duplicates of #172389, even though they don't all request the same behaviour. Any attempt at fixing these problems will have to address them all. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 172389 ***
