I guess that this buffer is needed because the CPU needs enough time to
process all the packets. I guess also that this buffer has a minimum
safe value to work with a medium fast PC.<br>
<br>
Then, without having any knowledge about the VLC code/architecture,
could be possible to modify this buffer to a small value, recompile VLC
and run it on a really _fast_PC to reduce this latency?<br>
<br>
Has this any sense?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
