Description GV 2017-08-26 11:55:20 EDT 
Description of problem:

Please consider disabling var_periodsize as default. See:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/alsa-devel/msg61714.html

"The recently added variable period-size feature for dmix & co seems
causing a regression on some old applications; e.g. Audacious aborts
with an error:

  ALSA error: snd_pcm_hw_params_set_buffer_time_near failed: Invalid argument.

As a quick fix, disable the feature as default.  One can still enable
it via asoundrc.
