[streaming] Buffer management in vlc for streamed sources

[Thomas Kernen]

All,

is there any detailed information on how vlc internally manages 
buffering for various sources such as files and DVB-S/T/C? My 
understanding is there is isn't any at this stage and that streaming 
process is dependent on the hardware (ie: hard drive) and OS performance.

The reason I ask the question is that I've noticed some interesting 
behavior with "bursty" sources that can impact STB buffering and 
decoding and/or networking equipment along the data path.

Any thoughts on this specific topic or ways to improve/solve the issue(s)?

Thomas
