Ok this advanced setting did wonders for my Rocket's buffering so I thought I'd share with the Rocket Team. This is for my Stalker PVR Client that has fixed freezing for me so let me know if it helps you as well and if so sticky?

Ok its just a simple advancedsettings.xml file with the following settings inside....

<buffermode>1</buffermode>

<cachemembuffersize>419430400</cachemembuffersize>

<readbufferfactor>4.0</readbufferfactor>

The easiest way to install this correct is with the program add-on for Kodi called "Easy Advance Settings" that will make and install the file properly. The add-on is straight forward so I don't think I need to explain that. Just once you got the
advancedsettings.xml file installed reboot to see effects.

Now let me know if this is working for you also or did my box pull a miracle?! haha... Cheers!

Install Easy Advanced Settings for Kodi.

Open it then click edit settings then network settings then network. Then edit the three settings I listed above. Once done click write xml file. Reboot for effect.

Here's a youtube video to show you what high247 is referring to, just remember that the guy mistakingly instructs you to enter 41943040 when in fact it should be 419430400, so if you're trying this enter 419430400 for cachemembuffersize.

I doubt this does anything for live streams. Just hit "O" on your keyboard and you will see nothing is being cached for live streams.

Edit: Here is my advanced settings xml. Cache is set to 0 meaning I have a unlimited amount (or as big as my storage allows). I have been using it like this for while and I still get buffering issues with rocket.
Code: 
<advancedsettings>
  <network>
    <buffermode>1</buffermode>
    <cachemembuffersize>0</cachemembuffersize>
    <readbufferfactor>30</readbufferfactor>
  </network>
</advancedsettings>

This solution really is meant for tv boxes. 0 is best option on pc though for sure.

And at least for me this has helped with live streaming from here and other services noticeably on my end. Only reason I shared. :)

Before when watching live it would only be 1 - 2 seconds ahead on buffer now its 10 - 20 seconds ahead buffered on almost all channels. Only freeze I get now is if a channel is 100% offline. Maybe I got lucky?

So this fixes the constant buffering and stop and go on live tv?? It's getting rather annoying.. I was watch Cricket, and it kept stopping and going.. I don't know if this fixes the sync issue with the voice offset. Thoughts?

Please do not make these changes unless you understand what you are changing. It could make things worse. Hence Advanced settings. Your cache buffer size will be determined by the amount of memory your device has. Other settings will be determined what type of device you have so for example you would not want buffer to disk if you have a flash drives do to the constant reading/writing which will cause the flash drive to ware out more quickly. Instruction can be found on the Kodi Wiki.

Here is better instructions

First Install the Easy Advanced Settings program plugin for kodi from Super Repo. (google how to install super repo)
Then....

1. Open the Easy Advanced Settings plugin, then go to Edit settings > Network >Network
2 . Set as follows;

<cachemembuffersize>419430400

3. Back out until you see Write XML and choose it.
4. Restart kodi.
