When resampling is used, the interval between period interrupts is not
strictly constant, but with the noresample flag set, I guess it might
make sense to restrict the period size to a multiple of the hardware
period size.  This would at least remove the jitter from the ALSA period
interrupt timing.


The ymfpci hardware has a global sample counter, but AFAICS it is not
possible to reliably get its value at the time of a period boundary.
