[Icecast] Burst-size Setting

I stream @ 320Kbps. I found the default settings not large enough for 
some players further afield or mobile so I put this in for 10 seconds 
buffer, 5 seconds burst:

     <limits>
        <queue-size>409600</queue-size>
        <burst-on-connect>1</burst-on-connect>
        <burst-size>204800</burst-size>
     </limits>

Because I use Win7 as a server, and the burst doesn't work very well in 
this scenario, I put this under listen-sockets:

     <listen-socket>
              <so-sndbuf>131072</so-sndbuf>
     </listen-socket>

It's quite a large size buffer but I don't get any drop outs now 
@320kbps via a web based player or VLC over a mobile network here.


Cheers,

Gavin.
