Is that necessary? Wouldn't it be possible to refill the main buffer and just leave the prebuffer where it is, and allow it to be depleted? I guess in my mind, I'm picturing the prebuffer being tapped upon track change and then the mp3 decoder being directed to the regular buffer after it has recovered from the change.
