Yes.

OTOH, having a 5 periods hardcoded value for all hardware means, on 8 
kHz,  100 ms latency where a value of  40-60  ms would be sufficient for 
many (most?) hw configurations. I still regard this as a bug, although 
this patch, which is more like a test case, is to simple. Stay tuned 
until there is some testing...

Besides, things like this should definitely be declared instead of being 
hardcoded values in implementation code :-)
