I have a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 here that accepts -n2 or -n3 and all
values of p from 64-8192. (8191 is prime, btw.) I was shocked because
I thought all USB interfaces needed -n3, so... idk. YMMV.

The two RME PCI interfaces I have require -n2 and -p must be a power of
2 between 64 and 1024. I haven't fully tested the HDA and HDMI devices
in the house but they seem to have similar restrictions.
