System Using xmms2 on a flakey connection causes a lot of skips.
I can mitigate these skips by inserting a buffering HTTP proxy
(squid, nginx, …) into the flow, but I'd think that this (basic)
functionality should be part of xmms2 itself. There is an
output.buffer config item, so what's missing is input.buffer to
define the size of a simple ring buffer which is filled and from
which audio data is read.

That way I could configure xmms2 to allocate memory to bridge e.g.
10 seconds of network outage. That would make me a lot happier.
