The current value is already 8 MB, buffering 134 MB like your change
does is insane.
Also why do you think this causes A-V desync? The only reason why
8 MB buffer (which btw. even for 50 MBit/s video is enough for more
than one second) is not enough is when you already have A-V desync,
so in all cases (except broken files) the underlying issue of
_both_ desync an "too many video packets in the buffer"
is a too slow PC.
