--- Comment #6 from Carlos Rafael Giani <dv at pseudoterminal.org> ---
So you mean prebuffering without decoding. Yes, this is the ideal. I think a
source -> networkbuffer -> parser -> queue -> probe. chain would be enough for
prebuffering. The parser is necessary, otherwise there will be no bitrate
estimate, and without a bitrate, the network buffer's size cannot be readjusted
properly. The probe -> queue chain is necessary in case the parser does not
figure out the bitrate right away (some parsers need a couple of frames until
they produce a bitrate tag). In this case, the probe would block until the
bitrate is seen. Once it is seen, it no longer blocks, and the queue's maximum
buffer count is set to 1.
