The program I have has several buffers.  The initial buffer is 4MB.  Then
it has some unadjustable internal buffers so it can deal with CD writers
on the same IDE controller as the hard-drive.  The documentation doesn't
reveal the size of these internal buffers.

But it doesn't matter what the buffer size is if the program feeding the
data can feed it fast enough.  (Although a larger buffer may give it a
higher chance if there is any point when the feeding program manages to
fill the buffer.  I could try changing the buffer size.)
