BBC main format is AAC either in HTTP or Flash and AAC needs transcoding
for the older players such as SB3/Classic and Boom.

When you prevent transcoding - the iplayer plugin gets the WMA stream
and then the player will player it direct from BBC - server does nothing
not even passing audio toi player.
So if you are getting buffering and your are playing WMA format BBC and
you are not sycning player  - then the issue is network or connection
from BBC to your ISP.  This summer BBC has had a number of networking
issues and I think they are exacerbated at weekends (typically when
maintenance/upgrades are done by BBC and ISPs)  and also during big TV
event (e.g. World cup, Gofl, Tennis, Atlethics) which load BBC networks.
