No, there’s no buffering controllability. You have 3 basic commands to:
clear the queue entirely, add something to the end of the queue, or
replace the entire current queue and start playback immediately with the
new queue. That’s all there is and it works just fine for my ‘Stream’
commands but is not good enough for player syncing where finer control
is needed. 

See

Don’t be fooled by any AudioPlayer 1.4 interface features you may find
on Google. It’s for device makers and not skill builders. Fridges can
stream FLAC but skills cannot. [emoji849]
