Subject: [PATCH] Fix HTTP streaming lag warnings by adding TimerNode and
 increasing buffer
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The streaming FLAC implementation was experiencing severe lag warnings
(clients skipping 700-2200 messages) because:
1. The broadcast channel capacity (512) was too small for network backpressure
2. The pipeline had no rate limiting, sending data faster than real-time

Changes:
- Increased BROADCAST_CAPACITY from 512 to 4096 (~5min buffer)
- Added TimerNode (3s lead time) to stream_block example pipeline
- Pipeline now: RadioParadiseStreamSource → TimerNode → StreamingFlacSink

This ensures data flows at real-time playback speed with sufficient
buffering for network jitter, eliminating client lag warnings.
