Series [v2,1/9] ALSA: emu10k1: pass frame instead of byte addresses | expand

The period_bytes_min parameter and the buffer_bytes minimum constraint
made no sense at all, as they didn't reflect any hardware limitation.
Instead, apply a frame-based period_size minimum constraint, which is
derived from the cache size (it would be actually possible to go below
that, but it would require special handling, and it would be practically
impossible to keep up with the IRQ rate anyway).

Sync up the constraints of the EFX playback with those of the regular
playback, as there is no reason for them to diverge.

N.b., the maximum buffer size is actually arbitrary - the hardware could
go waay beyond 128 KiB.

v2:
- constrain period size instead of buffer size, as otherwise a stupid
  app could set a small buffer with many periods, thus making the period
  size too small. takashi was actually right! :-D

sorry for the "flood", i forgot to adjust the declaration of the series 
in my tool. you can ignore the other patches; they didn't change from 
what you already applied.

regards

Don't worry, now I applied this one.


Thanks!
