Hi all,

I just noticed that alsa doesn't allocate a buffer size that is a 
multiple of the period size. For example when aplay plays a 8000 sample 
rate wav file, the driver gets the following:

    buf_bytes=8000
    period_bytes=1024

How am I going to dma the last period ?

I verified that the 16000 sample rate also has the same problem. 
However, when the sample rate is 44100 the buffer size is a perfect 
multiple of the period size.

Thanks,


Carlos Munoz
