Reduce audio buffering from 7 seconds to 1 second or less #39

The full audo pipeline of Supercollider => Jack => Darkice => Icecast has about 7 second of latency due to buffering (when operating in headless mode). This should be much less so that the effects of a state change can be heard quickly, ideally less than 1 second.

For starters, this doesn't seem to be effective: https://github.com/josephburnett/sonic-jam/blob/master/bin/ubuntu-16.04-gce-launch#L17
