I also have this question. I'm streaming 720p MKV files over an 802.11g wifi network. So could really do with being able to tell XBMC to do some serious buffering.

The buffer is fixed size in code. There are 2 buffers if i remember correct - one messagequeue with 40MB and on buffer in the inputstream, don't remember the size ... increasing the buffer will not fix your issues - i've tested that. Samba is just a bloated big crappy protocol and i think the cause that some people don't have issues and others have has something to do with the used constellation (samba server software, samba server hardware, networking, used videoformat, threading scheduling on iOS, and so on).
If you google about samba and video streaming problems you find a lot in other projects too. Unfortunatly there is no nfs client support in xbmc.
As always - this is MHO ... so don't blame me...

If an experienced developer is willing to work with me, I can point out and help assist in getting an internal afpclient into xbmc. This would use afpfs-ng libs and if one has noticed, that lib is already in the ios-depends and upcoming osx-depends build (hint, hint).
I'm spread too thin right now to focus and take this on but I can point out what needs to be done.
