No, the most common HDA driver require period size must be multiple of 128
bytes ( PCIE brust size) , you cannot exactly set buffer_size to 0.5 second
since the common sample rate is 44100/48000 (multiple of 3 or 9 )

You just get a buffer time near to 0.5 second

only those USB audio driver allow you to set buffer time to 0.5 second
