the constraint is simply that period size is a multiple of the minimum
value. I think in the examples of this thread (which Wim quoted), JACK
was run with stereo 32bit config, so the values would translate to:
120 frames -> 2*4*120=960 bytes (5*192)
264 frames -> 2*4*264=2112 bytes (11*192)
504 frames -> 2*4*504=4032 bytes (21*192)
2040 frames ->2*4*2048=16320 bytes (85*192)
...
I don't think the constraint makes really sense, but that's what it is
now (for all systems where 192 is the minimum period size). Luckily
the param is read from user-space (ALSA tplg), so it's not hardcoded
in kernel nor in firmware.
Thanks a lot for chiming in and shedding some light on this issue.
Also thanks for volunteering to get it fixed.
I am looking forward to that fix landing on my system.
