The current default value for prebuf is very high, almost the full virtual ALSA buffer. This breaks some application especially where low latency is involved.
This patch makes pcm_pulse implement the sw_params callback and get the prebuf value from the ALSA software parameters. Thus the trigger latency is much more like what an ALSA application should expect from an ALSA PCM device.
Looks good to me. David, could you review? Also, the first patch isn't needed, right?
