Now, I've been told that the buffer problem is due
to clock synchronization on soundcards. Some soundcards on't stream exactly at
44.1khz, they're like 44.0Khz, and that causes a buffer that gradually declines in
size, as it's been explained to me.

Indeed; a pair of sound cards running at (practically) identical
sample rates is going to take something much more accurate than
crystal oscillators. Or dumb luck. :-) This is something any streaming
software needs to deal with (sample drop/insert, or resampling, based
on buffer status), so there's no valid excuse for this happening.
Sounds like a bug.
