Sounds like the alwaysBuffer. It caught me a few times as well.

A quick repeat loop setting the pan from 0 to 360 is always a good  
start. But don't forget to include a wait for x milliseconds line. It  
would be worth downloading Trevor's QT external, the QTVR sample  
stack had a 'swing to' function that might be worth looking at.

  Audio + navigable panorama tends to go down a treat. :-)
Note that you can 'fake' hotspots in movies that don't have them by  
polling the pan/tilt/zoom of the player and triggering effects as  
needed.

P.S. It's rather more than ten lines of code, but here's a sneak peak  
of bezier-curve-controlled QTVR motion:
