I don't have good example as such, but I do know the alsa pulse plugin
for example sets different flags (and buffer attrs?) from the more
standard async clients.

We have an old test for creating a simple set of streams as a sanity
check. Maybe this could be extended to run with different combinations
of flags and attributes.
