I would advise a safe 100 as non UK is by default 96K unless you have
set for lowest which is 48k ?

Any difference between Live and Listen Again ror do both require 20 ?

Sorry was slow answering this post as I wanted to test on a slow Linux
system so see if there was anything special I tested on an RPi v1 and
default install value worked OK. So I am mystified by your LMS on Jogger
(it has an Atom single or dual core ? with/out HT ?) especially as Touch
is the player so no transcoding.

The value of threshold for all BBCiPlayer plugins prior 1.5.2 was 255.
No delay and threshold of 255 means 1.5.2 is the same as 1.4.9 except
for using HTTP/1.1 which means 1.5.2 should get data in faster than
1.4.9 and so be able to start playing earlier that 1.4.9.

The threshold value is the minimum amount of data in the player before
player should start playing as data is sent in realtime from source
(i.e. you have to wait 10 secs to get 10 secs of audio from a live
stream) .  
For non-streamed audio - the dfata is sent fast to player so internal
buffer is full before it starts playing. 
For non chunked HTTP/MP3 streams LMS calculate the threshold from the
bitrate. Typically any stream above 128kbps a value of 255 is used.  Too
low - the player will run out of data before next packet arrives -
constantr rebuffering. Just high enough and player wil be able to play
as long as network stream is smooth - any delay and player wil rebuffer.
Too high and the user will think the player takes too long to  start
playing audio but no rebuffering.
