Let me clarify.. yes this is normal file buffering was added so we wouldn't thrash your hard drive with tiny bits of data when recording calls so now it buffers and writes larger chunks to disk.  This is why you have this delay which is 100% normal.... is realtime a critical thing?  It is shout cast so you know it doesn't have to be realtime.. in fact some clients will buffer a little bit anyway and add to it.

I have, do you know what would have changed between 1.0.2 and trunk that would cause the buffer to change?  Also if its not in mod_shout.c (which I copied from 1.0.2 to trunk for testing with no luck), where else would fs be buffering?  One thing I have noticed is that in 1.0.2 as soon as the dial plan hits my record statement I see mod_shout logging that it has connected to the icecast server, in trunk it takes about 5 seconds to see the same log mesage.
