Most players have a much bigger buffer than 2 seconds.  Even some testing
I've done with MP3 and mpg123 tends to produce latency of at least 1
second.  Vorbis is not a low-latency codec, like it or not.  I can't
remember the exact figure, but there's a delay that vorbis can not go
below.  that's just fact.  It's the nature of the beast.
