My information may be slightly out of date as I haven't looked at trplayer in a while. Someone has already addressed the -q switch. As for buffer sizes, there is very little control trplayer actually has over things like buffering and sound. It's an interface to REalNetwork's libraries so you can't set buffer sizes or even set the soundcard on which to output. I doubt that's a shortfall of trplayer itself, probably just the proprietary library.
