gollark: Must I have ANOTHER threadoid which receives data and sticks it in a queue or something?
gollark: The `.read` is being done inside the `OggStream` code probably maybe.
gollark: It plays a large chunk of audioforms very fast and complains about dropped packets.
gollark: I tried using `io.BufferedReader(bytestream, buffer_size=2**19)` in place of it, but it appears to have worsened things.
gollark: It might? I'm just using its `.read` method or something.
