For those playing music over a high latency connections (such as a slow wifi connection, or across to your home server when travelling), it's very annoying that banshee will start playing and then stop while it buffers up more of the song.  It would be great to have an option (under preferences, I guess?) to increase buffering.  For more features, how about:
1) allowing the option to choose by percentage of file
2) allowing the option to choose by amount (in meg) to download
3) allowing the option to be for a single session - so that it'll reset when I next start banshee.

Options 1 and 2 are useful in different usage scenarios (e.g. if you have lots of short files), and 3 would be useful if you're travelling and know that you won't need a big buffer next time you use banshee.

I'm not the first person to note this (see http://www.nabble.com/buffering-tc21895593ef33893.html#a21895593), but I couldn't find a feature request in bugzilla, so thought I'd open one.

Thanks!
