In fact, paragraph 1 is wrong: the SB player will merely exhibit
'buffering' behavior if the computer is not fast enough (either on the
network or in transcoding.) By definition TCP/IP (mostly the TCP part)
will not allow errors in transmission and the SB player is buffering
the "correct" data to play.

As for paragraph 2: see the explanation of paragraph 1.
