I built a XBMCBuntu machine but I'm having issues streaming SMB over the wifi. Since XBMC doesn't buffer for 'local' data, including SMB, sometimes my wireless access point just isn't 'snappy' enough to give XBMC a packet when it wants it and XBMC either stutters or freezes and stops playing. Not only does this affect my AMD XBMCBuntu machine but also XBMC on an Intel laptop running through windows. Stops being an issue over wired Ethernet but that's not a viable solution in my condo.

There's this PR floating around which some people have used in custom RaspberryPi builds that enables caching for SMB and other local sources and I could really benefit from it's use. (So could a LOT of others, I found ENDLESS SMB streaming over wifi threads that are likely all suffering the same issue and no one found a solution). I know the likely answer is 'Compile it yourself and enjoy' but I have zero idea how to do that.
Anyone think they can help me out?
