Some CD players buffer a full minute or longer, and also samples have been considered copyright infringement even when they're a second long.

Clearly, it would be infringement if you buffered a minute of audio from CD into a player, then sold that player to someone else (without unpowering it) while keeping the CD for yourself. So I guess you might be right, and it could be fair use that allows it in the typical case (assuming it is allowed).
