There is, and it would not work on the CD-ROM burner which did not work 
with linux cdrecord.  Apart from that it was easy to setup and worked 
fine for copying CDs.  It is based on an older version (pre kernel 2.6 
linux).

Does it actually buffer somehow?

With Realplayer it buffers for a minute ahead of the stream, then starts 
to play, and there is much less choppiness.  I have watched the graph of 
the stream and some stations are nearly level and some are roller 
coasters.
