Ah!  Sorry, I got mixed up between period_size and period_bytes (I'm new
to all that stuff).  Multiplying period_size by the frame_size (which is
hardcoded as 6) get it to work.

So, my final saying is the following patch.  It fixes the segfault on
stopping a non-started usb_stream, plus it adds the ability to set a
period size and sound rate.  The latter offers a workaround for the
second issue I came with (that the default values for period bytes, and
hence period size, were too high for us122l to work).
