Subject: [PATCH] DOCS/options: clarify the impact of --audio-buffer

While making this larger do make audio filters react slower, it doesn't
always make softvol react slower. This is because the softvol reaction
speed is related to the ao buffer size which on many systems have an
upper limit, typically much lower than 200 ms. In this case the softvol
won't react slower. Change the wording to clarify this.
