Agreed about not applying a patch/fix (none were send and I made it
explicit I had only a workaround).

All I ask is information to know if there might be a bug in pulseaudio.

I asked if minreq should be <= prebuf , as the only proportion between
those two I found was to init "prebuf = tlength" and "minreq=tlength/5".
This 1 to 5 proportion I found in "PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC" code.

And the documentation tell about minreq "will initialize this to a value
that is deemed sensible by the server". 


In short I look for what would be "deemed sensible by the server".

Should I send a bug report about that or is the ML more appropriate a
field ?

Best,
