It is described here:

Should this be incomplete or otherwise incorrect it would be useful to
have a rebuttal.

If it is anything like the Aureal Vortex bug, the minimum period size
doesn't make sense. Unlike the older the ALSA plugin, the new ALSA-NG
plugin in Audacious opens the audio device with defaults and does not
attempt to set period sizes.
The code is available here:
