I once wrote:
Ever since I've seen EAGAIN returned by ALSA when trying to write into
an almost full buffer, I'm convinced that the audio devices maintain a
safety margin between the write and read positions and will *not* let
you write as much as the upper limit buffer size - written frames says.

That might explain the underruns with a max buffer 3x period_size. Perhaps 4
times would be better.  I'll try and analyse logs over the week-end.

Could you try
set_buffer_min(period) // not sure 3x should be the minimum, try 2x?
set buffer_near(3xperiod)?
set buffer_near(4xperiod)?

>I don't know how to test for the improved PA behavior
I'm simply running my render.c tests and looking at GCP and GP values.
