please explain why is big MAX_OUTBURST problem? it's an internal thing of
mplayer core, does nothing with teh audio drivers directly, just limits its
memory allocation. if you don't want big buffer, just limit it in your
get_space() implementation of your ao driver.

(mplayer uses the min(MAX_OUTBURST,ao->get_space()) value)
