[MPlayer-users] Default buffer/cache sizes?

[Eddie Pettis]

I'm currently doing research using data buffers to facilitate dynamic 
power management for mobile computers.  I'm using MPlayer for a lot of 
my studies and have a couple of questions.

1.  What is the default video buffer size for playing a video from a 
local storage device?  It looks like MPlayer is grabbing data one frame 
at a time, putting it into a buffer, decoding it, and displaying it, but 
I could use some verification.

2.  What is the default video cache size for streaming video over the 
internet?  Is it dependent on data type?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.  For more details, our previously 
published work is available at
