It seems to be something to do with specifying how much data needs to be 
in the data buffers before alsa is happy.  I couldn't quite understand 
whether it was min amount to load in a single call, or min free, or 
exactly what.  I can't say that I have seen it used elsewhere, and there 
seemed to be no ill effects obvious from removing it.

As I say, I did try various combinations of making it work with that 
call still in, but I couldn't find a way which worked.  I assume the 
same would be true for other people with 2 period sound cards as well..?

Thanks
