> 1. Why are the buffer setting options so small?
Well - these are not not the buffers for caching data from disk to memory, but from memory to soundcard.
In short: This is the max. delay eg. if you use the volume slider.
The buffers are short as sometimes one needs something close to "realtime" - eg. when using microphones in the karaoke mode.
> 2. What does the "Use hardware" option do?
It changes the way the soundcard is used. Normally, this should not affect the disk caches.
To your problem: We think, reading the data from disk and intelligent caching is the job from the operating system - and most time, it does this well. There are some "tricks" that can help tuning your network, however, the details depend on your specific network so that we cannot give any general suggestions here.
Hoping we could clearify some things - best regards,
