all sound cards will now have a minperiodtime 5000
Nope. If application settles the period time/size, the behaviour is unchanged (see the min/max condition). We just want to limit the period sizes for applications which do not know what they are doing and allow any period time/sizes. It's better to limit the minimal period size to avoid generation of many interrupts per second in this case.
This mean that if application did not set sample rate by using snd_pcm_hw_params_set_rate_near() , alsa-lib will select default rate (minimum rate of 1 Hz for alsa-pulse plugin )
err = snd_pcm_ioplug_set_param_minmax(io, SND_PCM_IOPLUG_HW_RATE, 1, PA_RATE_MAX);
This kind of application cause PA server aborted immediately in Fedora 10 and Fedora 13
