[QMultimedia/GStreamer] Can Jolla set the buffer size higher to avoid stuttering
This is something I and others have noticed for a while, trying to play a live stream (even with a simple 128kbps stream) with QtMultimedia ends up with a lot of stuttering and a awful experience, the shoutcast-sailfish dev actually created some patches which if safe should really be implemented:
https://api.merproject.org/package/show/home:wdehoog:gstreamer/gst-plugins-base https://api.merproject.org/package/show/home:wdehoog/qtmultimedia
They simply increase the default buffer size which does help massively with stuttering and saves us implementing hacky workarounds like delays while the stream buffers.
