"This should bring massive improvement for wireless streaming in general. Example: When we think of a wireless lan, that does 10 times "get me some data" and cause of bad reception and so on 5 times won't get anything. When increasing the reading rate, you need less succesful amounts of "get some data"s but your cache won't run empty, cause of the higher transfer speed"

Anything in the mainline XBMC git will be in Xbian.

This commit allows one to fill the buffer from a stream based on a multiplier placed in advancedsettings.xml instead of simply throttling the stream based on bitrate. This is a WELCOME change, I am excited to see how well it works also.
