why do PA insist to use one period per buffer when only those ISA drivers and intel8x0 have periods_min =1 , the most common HDA driver and most sound cards have periods_min =2 ?
PA actually doesn't insist. We just try to minimize wakeups and hence pick the lowest value we can get. Which means 2 frags on most devices and 1 on very few others.
