There is a define, but like AOUT_MAX_ADVANCE_TIME, it is only used by aout modules. Nothing in the core.

The audio output buffer value is directly linked to the jitter value of the input clock. It is coming from the demux pts_delay that is 300ms for file, and 3000ms for network by default.

What is really puzzling me is that 300ms is not enough anymore using the new output clock (only with some files).
After doing some test, a value of 1000ms is way better.
