I’m using actionscript 2’s Sound class to load mp3’s. I noticed as3’s Sound class has buffering support, but not as2’s ?  
If as2’s Sound doesn’t support buffering natively, do I use \_soundbuftime to set buffer time? I’m planning to support flash 7 and plus.  
Also, I’ve read some articles online about detecting client bandwidth, if you’d like to share your way or suggest a good way of doing it in AS, it’d be nice too. Thanks.
