arr, well i think i got it now. You are talking about the _total_ buffer
size, right? Up to now it was determined by --nperiods * --periods. But
since some soundcards don't support these exact buffer sizes, you changed it
so that the total buffer size is big enough that --nperiods * --periods fits
into it, right?
