Again, is this fixed 240 is a must? Or is this also an alignment issue?
Hi Takashi,

I think it's a must for Chromebooks. Google found this value works
best with their CRAS server running on their BSW products. They
offered this patch for their own Chromebooks.

Hrm, but it's likely a worse choice on other sound backends.

Please double-check whether this fixed small period is a must, or it's an
alignment issue.
Hi Takashi,

I've double checked with google. It's a must for Chromebooks due to low
latency use case.

I wonder if there's a misunderstanding here?

I believe Takashi's question was "is this a must to ONLY accept 240 samples for the period size", there was no pushback on the value itself. Are those boards broken with e.g. 960 samples?
