After some serious fights w the build system, I've been able to add a simple PTRACE to the SetBuffers method in sound_alsa.cxx. Trimmed output:

13:45:49.348      ALSA    Setting buffers, size: 3840, count: 5
13:45:49.402      ALSA    Device default Opened
13:45:49.438      ALSA    Setting buffers, size: 320, count: 5

It is set in opal in

OpalAudioMediaStream::OpalAudioMediaStream(
 where soundChannelBuffers is set to the supplied parameter value.

This comes out of the pcssendpoint class, which

which ends up coming from: a method of the pcss endpoint which gets the user defined buffer depth...
    soundChannelBuffers = pcss endpoint.GetSoundChannelBufferDepth()


so you know what ?

I think this is a bug from outside of ptlib&opal. The default values for codec sizes in ptlib&opal are for a count of 2 buffers (unix) and 3 buffers(windows).

which verifies Andreas' logs i. e., this is what causes the oversized alsa hw buffer. I made a quick search, there are no references to SetBuffers in the plugin code. So these calls comes from the upper layers. For the moment I'll stick to the alsa plugin and will not investigate this any further.
