Getting back to the rebufferign issue.

After thinking about the symptoms - I think I understand the issue and
defender is not the problem - transcoding with socketwrapper is at the
centre.

The key is that Listen Again streams work OK but Live streams don't
Live streams are different to many radio station in that audio is
generated in realtime.  If you start a stream "now" the system cannot
fill a buffer with 10 sec of audio without waiting for 10 secs before
playing.  Radio Paradise/Soma etc are not live so the fact that they
work like "Listen Again".
Slow stream like 48k/96k didn't work because data didn't arrive fast
enough for transcoding process or perhaps not enough data has been
received to start playing. As non UK users I get 6 secs chunk were 32k
byte for 48kbps and 77kbytes for 96kbps stream.

On 2 core system with slower processor, socketwrapper has to create 3
processes  to transcode the data and I think some sort of deadlock is
happening if not enough data has been initially received to "prime the
pump".

So as a test I have tweaked a few of the parameters in the DASH.pm file
to effectively start 10-20 seconds behind  "live" so that a bigger
buffer of data can be built up.

Attach is a replacement for DASH.PM in the BBCiPlayer plugin directory. 
Save and unzip and replace existing DASH.pm file and then restart LMS.

I would hope that 320kbps stream could play without rebuffering.  48kbps
may probably rebuffer.  If it improves the situation then I know I'm in
the right path.
