Thanks. One question though, if the app in in blocking mode and requests 
the said two periods, will alsa wait until the hardware has processed 
three 48000Hz-periods and then copy the two 44100Hz-periods to the 
application (because: 3 periods at 48000Hz > 2*1024 frames at 44100Hz)?

DirectSound doesn't know anything about periods, the windows application 
operates on bytes rather than frames or periods. So whether I'd have to 
wait for two or three periods wouldn't matter. The important thing is 
that I get X bytes in the right format to pass that back to the application.
