HD-audio driver. A larger buffer (e.g. 2048) is preferred
for systems using PulseAudio. The default 64 is chosen just
for compatibility reasons.
- On x86 systems, the default is zero as we need no preallocation.
+ On x86 systems, the default is zero as S/G allocation works

Note that the pre-allocation size can be changed dynamically
via a proc file (/proc/asound/card*/pcm*/sub*/prealloc), too.
