sound: usb-audio: limit playback queue length
Once our URBs contain enough packets, queueing more URBs does not give us any additional underrun protection (as we use double-buffering) but just increases latency unnecessarily. Therefore, we try to limit the queue length to some reasonable value. Signed-off-by: Clemens Ladisch <clemens@ladisch.de> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
