ALSA: refine buffer / period parameters

We really need at least two periods: with only one period we could hit
a buffer underrun after a buffer overrun (a REALLY dumb failure...).
Then we have a favorite buffer size. Then we pick the least number of
periods to reduce wakeups (but at least 2 anyway).
