Do not use.
+``--audio-buffer=<seconds>``
+ Set the audio output minimum buffer. The audio device might actually create
+ a larger buffer if it pleases. If the device creates a smaller buffer,
+ additional audio is buffered in an additional software buffer.
+
+ Making this larger will make soft-volume and other filters react slower,
+ introduce additional issues on playback speed change, and block the
+ player on audio format changes. A smaller buffer might lead to audio
+ dropouts.
+
+ This option should be used for testing only. If a non-default value helps
+ significantly, the mpv developers should be contacted.
+
+ Default: 0.2 (200 ms).
