_soundbuftime seconds of streaming sound are downloaded; therefore, a large setting (long
delay) can cause excessive startup times on slower connections. Because network
streaming may be slow or briefly interrupted, a short
_soundbuftime setting can cause
sound to skip (i.e., if enough sound data wasn’t buffered, sounds may be interrupted
temporarily). The ideal setting
