Specifies the default pre-allocated buffer-size in kB for the
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 2048 as a reasonable value for
- most of modern systems.
+ On x86 systems, the default is zero as we need no preallocation.
Note that the pre-allocation size can be changed dynamically
via a proc file (/proc/asound/card*/pcm*/sub*/prealloc), too.
This reverts commit f8e4ae10de43fbb7ce85f79e04eca2988b6b2c40. On systems where there is a lot of FrontEnds, when CONFIG_SND_HDA_PREALLOC_SIZE != 0 ALSA core allocates memory for each FE, which may cause out of memory problems due to per card limit. Force config to 0 on X86, so memory will be allocated on as needed basis.
