fragment size using emu10k1

fragment size using emu10k1

[paco]

Hi...

I've noticed a problem using the ioctl SNDCTL_DSP_GETBLKSIZE with my
SBPCI512.  I'm not familiar with the underlying workings of the sound
driver (emu10k1), and I really don't know if this is a kernel problem or a
driver problem.

The problem is simple, when you issue the GETBLKSIZE call, the value that
is reported back is wrong by a power of 2.  The call will report that the
buffer size is "X" Bytes, but it is really only of size "X/2" Bytes.

This can cause problems in applications that attempt to use this
information for malloc calls, or for applications that need to write
data to the card in full fragments at a time.
