Commit [1] set the minimum PERIOD_BYTES value to the product of the DMA burst size and 8. For the I2S interface on BCM2835 that equates to 16 where it used to be 256. ffmpeg uses the minimum value as its preferred value, leading to many, many very small periods, which affects performance and leads to complaints about DTS timestamps.
Restore the previous behaviour and performance by making the bcm2835-i2s driver set a minimum PERIOD_BYTES value of 256.
