Why use more than 2 buffers?

We all know that OpenAl sources are capable of queuing multiple buffers 
for playback.  The question is, why would you ever need to queue more 
than 2 buffers at a given time?  Aren't two buffers sufficient for the 
double-buffering technique used to continuously streaming audio data?
