The granularity of write transfer blocks and of playback pointer
updates is currently not quriable nor configurable in ALSA. We only
have periods which tries to cover both in a way.

For the use in PA it is really important to get better APIs for
this. Ideally both for querying the latency and the transfer
granularityand configuring it, but most importantly for querying it.

This has been discussed before on this mailing list, btw.
