The server uses one send-ahead for a whole group, the largest across its players. So a single player reporting a very large min_buffer_ms delays playback for every player in the group.

This gives min_buffer_ms a fixed range of 0-5000, the same as output_delay_ms, and players clamp it themselves. That is technically a breaking change for players that report larger values today.

An alternative solution would be letting each server cap min_buffer_ms at its own value of at least 5000 ms. But 5s is already a really large buffer size.
