ALSA assumes that there is a ring buffer that has the configured buffer size, and that when N frames are reported as available, any number of frames between 1 and N can be read/written. > I need to write a filter plugin and I have to use for processing > a chunk size of power of two (32, 64, or 128 bytes … that’s because of > the use of FFT).

You could add your own buffer to keep any remaining frames of the 128-frame chunk until the next transfer call.
