Add option to let the user choose the buffer time #38

Add option so the user can select the time for buffering.

Options should be:

5sec 8sec 10sec 20sec

Default is 8sec

Difficult: the _time_ depends on the bitrate and codec. wiiradio cannot 
reliably know
that before actually reading and decoding that data. The station _can_ send the
bitrate, but it does not have to; I have seen station which do not report that.
Easier would be to specify the size of the buffer as 'small', 'medium', 'large' 
or
similar, with some senseable numbers behind that. This would not be optimal, 
because
it would mean potentially different buffer times for different stations, but it 
would
be the best we can do, at least easily.
