I am in favor of support variable hw_interrupt at lowest level, i.e, in ring buffer driver, instead of disabling hw_interrupt altogether.
Removing the constant-sized periods restriction would certainly be useful. However, it doesn't look as if anybody has the time to redesign the ALSA API, the kernel framework and all the drivers.
No need to redesign ALSA API and certainly no need to change _any_ driver, just like this interrupt disable call is optional so would period resize be.
I only ask to make this newly added call as period-resize rather than a special case of period-disable.
