I've added a Buffer threshold setting to BBC sounds and amended the
protocol handler.  To be honest, it doesn't seem to have much impact.  
In this trace I've set it to the bufferThreadhold to 4 seconds of audio,
which on the 320 streams is 160 kb  (163840).  
Here is the log trace from that,  as you can see, the threshold setting
that is being applied, appears in the log as expected, but I don't
really understand what that means in this context as it doesn't seem to
be filling up the output buffer with 4 seconds of audio before the
underrun occurs.  Sorry, if I misunderstood what was meant to occur.

As you can see following the underrun,  both the input and output
buffers fill up and it is rock solid from there onwards.

--------------------


As far as I'm concerned the  ramp up audio underruns really aren't that
much of a problem, they don't always happen, and now that the output
buffer is filling up correctly they don't occur again once the stream is
underway.
