I think they are doing so ("The Netflix application is complex, but at its simplest it streams data from a Netflix server, buffers several seconds worth of video and audio data on the device"). The system was built to fill the (hardware) buffers for 15ms worth of audio. The problem is that the 15ms window was not invoked in time (sometimes it took 40ms). Some suggested Netflix that in that case they could fill audio data for 40ms into the HW, but they didn't wanted to because it required low-level modifications.
