RealPlayer - Buffered Play
Buffered Play improves sound quality solely by increasing the amount of
information that is buffered by
RealPlayer before it begins to play a clip.
Playback quality, especially with 28.8 Kbps modems, should be still be
enhanced with Buffered Play, though the time before a clip begins to play
will be slightly longer. You can adjust how much Buffered Play buffers in
your Preferences.
Buffered Play will be initiated automatically when the clip you have selected
exceeds your Normal Bandwidth selection or if net
congestion lowers your incoming bitrate too much.
Note: Buffered Play mode does not work with a live stream.
