proxy buffering for media files?

[bkosborne]

Hmm okay, so that would essentially buffer as much as it can in RAM (which
really wouldn't be much based on the default buffer sizes). Once that in
memory buffer becomes full, then what happens? It starts sending the data to
the client thats in the buffer as well any anything that isn't?
