Fixed bug 4710 - audio/alsa: avoid configuring hardware parameters with only a single period Anthony Pesch The previous code first configured the period size using snd_pcm_hw_par- ams_set_period_size_near. Then, it further narrowed the configuration space by calling snd_pcm_hw_params_set_buffer_size_near using a buffer size of 2 times the _requested_ period size in order to try and get a configuration with only 2 periods. If the configured period size was larger than the requested size, the second call could inadvertently narrow the configuration space to contain only a single period. Rather than fixing the call to snd_pcm_hw_params_set_buffer_size_near to use a size of 2 times the configured period size, the code has been changed to use snd_pcm_hw_params_set_periods_min in order to more clearly explain the intent.
