I don't think it would be useful. First there's the obvious selection bias: people not having problems are unlikely to read the poll and much less likely to be in the forums in the first place. Second, what do you do with the results? From this thread I would predict that the poll will show a small percentage of people having the problem, selection bias notwithstanding. Does that mean it can/should be ignored? Not at all.
What's needed is not a poll, because the responses from the unaffected are useless in diagnosing a problem they don't have. Instead focus on systematic diagnostics with those who have the rebuffering to isolate the problem. I have forgotten a lot of what's in this thread, but it seems that there are several cases where going from 7.3.x to 7.2.x resolved the problem. That narrows it down to a finite (large, but finite) set of possible causes. My data: currently running SC 7.3.3 on five SBs (the others are running 7.4, also without rebuffering problems). Two SBs are wired and the rest are wifi. Local library is about 95% FLAC and the rest MP3. Frequently sync'ing 2 or 3 SBs, especially for the past 2-3 months. No rebuffering problems at all. -- aubuti Nothing high-end, but music anywhere I want it, and it's '100% wind powered' (http://www.cleancurrents.com/).
