[alsa-devel] [PATCH 1/3] sound: Add a quirk to enforce period_bytes

The Auvitek 0828 chip, used on HVR950Q actually need two
quirks and not just one.

The first one, already implemented, enforces that it won't have
channel swaps at the transfers.

However, for TV applications, like xawtv and tvtime, another quirk
is needed, in order to enforce that, at least 2 URB transfer
intervals will be needed to fill a buffer. Without it, buffer
underruns happen when trying to syncronize the audio input from
au0828 and the audio playback at the default audio output device.

As the second quirk may be needed by some other media devices
not based on au0828 chipset, keep it as a separate quirk.
