Well lets see, since I can't run 64 frames on my soundcard in jack, I run a
period size of 128 with 2 periods per buffer, which gives me <3mS latency,
and yes i do run that for hours on end with no XRuns on my NVidia Driver.  I
have never had a need for faster latency as noone I know can hear that one.
