Minimum working value of engine.buffers.video_num_buffers for various video streams (HD, in particular)?

It was mentioned in #xine that the default engine.buffers.video_num_buffers
value (500) is too low for HD DVB streams.

One clip which I downloaded (slightly broken, due to bad reception) requires
that this be set to 1000, and I'm told that there's a live stream which
requires this to be set to 1500.

If anybody can test this and report back whether a higher value is
*required*, that would be useful for the next release.
