Q. Why do the Streams Buffer all of the time?
A. A buffer is really signalling delay between you and the shoutCAST server, we recommend all users listening to any of the feeds to be on broadband / ADSL type connections as all streams are encoded at 96kps. However if you are on broadband simply restart your machine and try to limit multitasking while listening.
