Hi Takashi,
I did some math and 4MB is still too little for some extreme hardware
like the Behringer Wing, which is USB 2.0 by the way. According to my
calculations, at 192 KHz and 48 channels, even with this 4MB patch, we
would still have only 151.7 ms of buffer for the Wing.
Therefore my suggestion is to expose the MAX_BUFFER_BYTES as Kconf.
Do you think this is plausible?
Thanks,
