Eric committed the patch that changed the one "buffer" to "búfer":

This matches the older translation done by David Rubio Miguélezand:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=0ad2ef20a79a317c6648326b7c0bf109703a84c1

For what it's worth, I left "buffer" untranslated in Catalan:

...even though the Catalan term "memòria intermèdia" seems to be widespread:

The bottom line is that we may want to make a few changes to these
translations at some point in the future, especially if more native
speakers express a preference. All things considered though, I think
the translations look fine.

Please don't hesitate to contribute to the Spanish translation in the future!
