You can increase the streaming-buffer in streamdev/server/transceiver.c line 
13. Just exchange MEGABYTE(1) to whatever you want. And tell me about the 
results, please!!! If there is any safer setting than 1 MB I'll put it into 
my plugin (maybe as an option).

This would incorporate using anything else than HTTP, since there is no 
possibility (and no ability in the player) to send another command after 
the HTTP-Request (since HTTP is kind of a Request-Answer-Close type 
protocol). Maybe you could encourage Xine folks to incorporate VTP 
streaming (where that is possible), or write a VTP input plugin yourself 
:-) (The VTP API is documented in streamdev/PROTOCOL)
