[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2] pulseaudio: process audio data in smaller chunks

[Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com>]

The rate of pulseaudio absorbing the audio stream is used to control the
the rate of the guests audio stream.  When the emulated hardware uses
small chunks (like intel-hda does) we need small chunks on the audio
backend side too, otherwise that feedback loop doesn't work very well.
