I'm was actually using both whisky AND coffe w milk. Sorry, no 
offense...  :-)

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

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.
