Some applications do not expect that get_period_size_min() could return 0. Therefore these applications cannot use the null plugin without this patch. Due to there is no use case for having a period size of 0 this patch disallows a period size of 0 when using the null plugin.

Hi Takashi,

Why 32?

I thought there is also no use case for a period of 1 frame. Therefore I increased it to a 2^n value to also lower the CPU usage in case of null plugin.

Or does it cause a problem?

I do not see any issues here. But for example portaudio will automatically choose a period size of 1 frame which will result in a higher CPU load.

But anyway I would also be fine with this higher CPU load if you prefer this patch.

Best regards

Timo
