This is needed for compatibility with Wine games that use DirectSound8
on distributions such as Arch Linux who don't accept the unofficial
winepulse patch. The reason is that Wine DirectSound8 emulation requests
a period of 10 ms and expects it to work for the purposes of timing. And
in fact, it cannot know (via ALSA API) that it is not going to work!
I hereby withdraw the patch, as on IRC I see that Arun said:

I'm not too happy with changing that. It would affect CPU on systems
that don't care about Wine.
and I really really don't want to work around bad clients in PA.

(note: due to the "cannot know" reason, I still disagree that it is a
client-side problem)
