it depends on the hardware. if you need to set up a buffer-descriptor list like via82xx, the above h/w constraint (integer periods) will be most likely necessary. then the buffer size will be aligned to the period size automatically. otherwise, you'll need to change the BD list dynamically with different sizes.
