Comment:

 The issue is with ALSA.
 We ask for a buffer size, it returns a value. From that returned value, if
 it's not enough, we make a guess work on what the buffer size should have
 been.

 It ALSA keeps returning a different value each time, not much we can do

 Set the prealloc value to 4MB, problem gone
