    sound: Scale PCM secondary buffers by byte rate
The fixed 128 KiB secondary buffer cap dates from stereo-sized streams.
    High channel-count or high sample-width OSS streams can consume most of
    that budget in one graph quantum, leaving too little room for capture
    catch-up or playback headroom.
Keep 128 KiB as the low-rate floor, but derive the effective soft-ring
    cap from the channel byte rate, clamped to 4 MiB. Use that per-channel
    cap when resizing the soft buffer and when clamping
    SNDCTL_DSP_SETFRAGMENT requests.
Also clamp SNDCTL_DSP_LOW_WATER to the current soft-buffer size so an
    impossible readiness threshold cannot make poll/select wait forever.
