D: module-alsa-sink.c: latency set to 46.44ms
D: module-alsa-sink.c: hwbuf_unused_frames=1
D: module-alsa-sink.c: setting avail_min=4662
D: module-alsa-sink.c: Requesting rewind due to latency change.
D: module-alsa-sink.c: Requested to rewind 8192 bytes.
D: module-alsa-sink.c: Limited to 3712 bytes.
D: module-alsa-sink.c: before: 928

The driver only allocated the requested buffer size at hw_param callback

As you can see , PA only rewind 8192 bytes only instead of 371 ms ?
