Hmm, we probably should add a bit of code to detect this
automatically. 

snd_pcm_info_get_sync() probably does what is needed here. Since quite
some time I had on my list adding an API for wrapping this. This could
e very handy here.

/me rearranges the order of his todo list.

It worked quite well here. Even for very low latencies. Note that the
current logic is to make sure that the buffer we maintain between sink
and source is never below the max_request size of the sink. If it is
lower than that we change the resampler a bit so that during the next
iteration we buffer more.
