Hi,
I use XBMC among other things, to listen to radio stations.
some radio stations take very long to buffer (4096 kb) because the media is identified as video (.wmv) even though it is only audio. is there a way to force a smaller cache size for links like these:

mms://s14wm.castup.net/990310001-52.wmv?s=&rid=603061724583706&ct=SE&rg=WE&aid=31&st=0

Is it possible to force streams to be categorized as "unknown", where i can then set the cache to 256 or 512?

i tried to save as PLS, M3U, STRM files but it always automatically selects the large video cache settings.

Thanks for any suggestions.
(I am using the Atlantis Beta2 t3ch 15805 SVN release on XBOX)
