PCM devices have a default maximum buffer size and a maximum maxmimum
buffer size.  For example, in the snd-usb-audio driver, it's 64 KB and
128 KB.

The current value (in KB) can be seen in the file
/proc/asound/cardX/pcmXY/subX/prealloc.  You can change it with

  echo 128 > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/prealloc


In most cases, the maxmimum buffer size is constrained by hardware
limitations, but in the case of snd-usb-audio, it should be safe to
raise this value (look for the call to snd_pcm_lib_preallocate_pages()
in usbaudio.c).
