The is no mechanism like that. There are 2 buffers: a stream buffer where audio is downloaded in native format and an output buffer where audio sits decoded (plain 32 bits pcm) waiting to be send to the sound system. If stream buffer is big enough, then at some point the track will be entirely into that stream buffer. When the track is entirely decoded, then the next one is requested and starts to be put in the stream buffer, all is a continuous process. So just to be clear and at least certainly for the first track, playback starts while streaming is still active (it might be the unsaid concern of OP). Size of buffers have no impact on synchronization LMS 7.7, 7.8 and 7.9 - 5xRadio, 3xBoom, 4xDuet, 1xTouch, 1 SB2.
