opendev: bump granularity of audio capture periods
This only applies to ALSA, but the av-sync precision is entirely dependent on the granularity of what ALSA refers to as "periods". The pdata->avd delay is decremented by the audio capture in period aligned steps, meaning the smallest decrement it can possibly do is the period size. Between these period sized intervals, rmdGetFrames kind of flies blind if the FPS is high enough for frametime to be substantially smaller than the period time. A smaller period does increase the ALSA capture overhead, basically increasing the number of times ALSA returns data to userspace, kind of like a higher interrupt rate. But it seems negligible for a modern system.
