Buffer sizes depend on things like sample rates and encoding formats - 8
kHz mu-law has completely different buffer sizes from 44.1 kHz L16. And
if you buffer an encoded format for a variable-bitrate encoder, the
relationship between buffer size and delay is impossible for the user to
predict.

I like seconds. It's what the user is usually looking for.
