Small error, the buffer size got set incorrectly.
(Now BUFFER_SIZE * 3 instead of BUFFER_SIZE * 2)

  * largely rewritten and used for this
  * plugin by Tobias Diedrich
  *
+ * Theory of operation:
+ *
+ * The NAS consists of two parts, a server daemon and a client.
+ * We setup the server to use a buffer of size NAS_BUFFER_SIZE
+ * with a low watermark of NAS_BUFFER_SIZE - NAS_FRAG_SIZE.
+ * Upon starting the flow the server will generate a buffer underrun
+ * event and the event handler will fill the buffer for the first time.
+ * Now the server will generate a lowwater event when the server buffer
+ * falls below the low watermark value. The event handler gets called
+ * again and refills the buffer by the number of bytes requested by the
+ * server (usually a multiple of 4096). To prevent stuttering on
+ * startup (start of playing, seeks, unpausing) the client buffer should
+ * be bigger than the server buffer. (For debugging we also do some
+ * accounting of what we think how much of the server buffer is filled)
