With a USB device, there is not only a buffer size to SR relationship but 
also the system USB transfer rate which is 1ms. 48000 at 16/3 is exactly 
1ms (assuming system clock and media clock line up... which they don't) 
so the theory goes that using 3 buffers makes things come a lot closer to 
lining up with the rate the USB device is actually transfering your audio 
data or at least make it a close multiple. By the time the buffer size is 
64 it should no longer matter and two should be fine. experimentation will 
show what works best for your system/device.
