Hi,

The problem is that you read always as much as possible from the
streaming server.
If not real-time, it will always send you too much.
You have to let the TCP window go full by not reading, so that the
server cannot send you more data.

That's not so easy to do with raw API.
I think that you should buffer the pbufs, and NOT call tcp_recved()
until you consume a pbuf in your audio task.

Hope this helps.
