FMS live streaming - remove buffer?

I have an application that is a continues stream. 24/7/365. When people connect with different networking issues, ie the Internet, they can watch for awhile and then it seems like it "fast forwards" in order to "catch up". I just want this data to be dropped as it's old and will never have time to totally catch up. Is it possible to configure FMS to not create this cache? I was thinking that  if I set netStream.setBufferTime(0) that this would not be an issue. Any ideas?

Thanks!

    You can do that, but only if the video codec is H.263 (Spark). If you're using VP6 or H.264, you'll have poor playback performance with  zero buffer.
