without using adjust latency mode, pa server use maximum buffer size by
default and latency is fixed at about 340ms for ca0106 which does not
support 44100hz.

so this is incorrect for pulse plugin to accept 200ms, in previous version
of pulseaudio you can specify the fragment time and the number of fragments
to achieve low latency.
