The values I have for these in my tree are:

which are partly based on patches applied to Rabeeh's kernel, and then further adjusted. Yes, the max period bytes won't be reachable since the minimum period will cause it to be half the max buffer bytes.
Those don't look implausible, obviously it'd be pretty CPU intensive application that pushed down to the minima but perhaps someone is willing to pay the cost. As you say the maximum buffer might want tweaking (or perhaps the maximum period bytes).
