Markus,
In the stream header for each stream, an optional parameter is Preroll.
But, whether or not, if present, it is overridden sometimes I don't know. I
keep getting confused about the difference between buffering and preroll. I
would be interested in hearing more about this from someone who knows what's
happening as well.
FWIW,
Craig
