This seems to be going round and round in circles.  Userspace lets the
kernel pick the period size, if the period size isn't 240 (or a multiple
of it?) the DSP doesn't properly pay attention to that apparently due to
internal hard coding in the DSP firmware which we can't change so the
constraint logic needs to know about this DSP limitation - it seems like
none of this is going to change without something new going into the
mix?  We at least need a new question to ask about the DSP firmware I
think.
