Because when playing local files (MP3, FLAC, etc) it completely fills the
SB3 buffer at the beginning of each track and it does so at the maximum data
rate.  If it didn't do this then there would be much less dropout
protection.

In an ideal world SlimServer would not rebuffer at the beginning of each
track but would begin filling the playback buffer with the next track as
soon as there is room in the buffer.  I suspect that a change in this
behavior might be part of what will eventually allow for sync'd gapless
playback, but I'm just speculating.
