I didn't mean to kill this thread.. i'll try to redeem myself and add some useful info if not to late lol.
everybody interested in this should really read this:
Code:

notice the link for pvr cache too.
live tv bypasses these settings, rtmp and hls are not designed that way they are realtime protocoils and will go straight into something called the post demuxer which has a cache of 8 secs.
there are one setting that can influence that cache and it is the pvr setting minvideocachelevel setting, and the minaudiocachelevel which becomes redundant.
fernetmenta who coded these functions explains this, kindly read all he's answers to the weird 0 buffering we see when pressing 'o' for codecinfo with live tv.
