[Pkg-audacious-maintainers] Bug#585574: audacious-plugins: alsa output fails in Nvidia MCP78 with snd_pcm_hw_params_set_buffer_time_min error

[Inaki Saez]

Package: audacious-plugins
Version: 2.3-2
Severity: important
Tags: upstream patch

After package upgrade to version 2.3, alsa output plugin fails with an error
about invalid value in snd_pcm_hw_params_set_buffer_time_min.
It fails in my motherboard sound card Nvidia MCP78, which is handled by
snd_hda_intel
I know it fails in an older PC with SI7012, using snd-intel8x0

Seems that the latest alsa.c has a minimun buffer size of 100 milliseconds and
it fail in my sound card.
I have tested values from 5 to 85 ms, and with these values the plugin works
OK. I have it now working with 10 ms with no problem.

I don't know the reason to have a bigger value and I have not tested in other
boards.
I think that if this value must be bigger in some cards and in others it must
be smaller it should be selectable by the  plugin preferences program.
Or perhaps should be dependant on the hardware if it can be obtained from the
alsa libraries.
