I'll save Rob the trouble of repeating himself and quote what he wrote
to me when I asked the same question:

"Each time you refill your buffer, you need to preserve the data in your
existing buffer from stream.next_frame to the end.

"This usually amounts to calling memmove() on this unconsumed portion of
the buffer and appending new data after it, before calling
mad_stream_buffer()"
