This is a variable, not a statement.

I must say that doesn't work either in my case. It matches the BUFFER
case once, and then goes to PROMPT, even if there was no prompt that I
could see.
Basically I'd like to be able to process each line of the stream
regardless if it matches the prompt or not.
Well that's completely expected. The reason for it is simply that you're
not breaking out of the switch at the end of your first case. This means
that after finishing the BUFFER case, the process automatically
continues on until either it finds a break statement, or the end of the
switch.
Some code to help explain:
switch($foo) {
case 'a':
echo 'we found a. but since there is no break here, we continue
to b';
case 'b':
echo 'we found b. Or maybe we found a and the code passed on to
the code for b... who knows?';
break; // we quit the switch now!
case 'c':
echo 'we found c and are 100% sure it IS c, since if it were a or
b it would have broken out of the switch earlier';
}
So the solution is simple for you, add a break statement. Not $break,
since that's a variable, but break (the keyword).
