[gst-devel] problem setting sink buffering parameters - leads to horrible skipping

[Stefan Kost]

Hi david,

right now you'd better download the file before. GStreamer just starts
to handle situations like this where there are ressource problems
(either bandwith or CPU). But iit will take some time until this is
done.
