[osflash] how to avoid buffer underrun with live streaming

Hi all

I'm using red5 0.7.0 for live video streaming with adobe flash media 
encoder 2.5.

The setup itself works, but when viewing the stream via a flash player 
e.g. the viewer provided with the publisher demo, I get 
NetStream.Play.InsufficientBW messages followed by buffer underruns.
This happens every 1-2 minutes, even though I'm on a 12mbit connection 
streaming only 256kbit.


I already tried:

- increasing the buffer of the viewing client -> no effect
- increasing/reducing rtmp.send_ and receive_buffer -> no effect
- increasing/reducing bufferCheckInterval -> no effect


Any suggestions how to avoid these buffer underruns?

cheers
