The specification was written for the general case where the device that
creates the connection might be different from the transmitting and
receiving devices.  In that case, the payload size is needed for correct
bandwidth allocation.

In our case, the Linux PC does not have plugs that could be accessed by
anybody else.  (And I'm not sure if the value set by the Fireworks
firmware is correct enough so that we'd want to use it.)
