Anyway, I messed the calculations. Sorry! :_(

With a SR of 44100 Hz, the resolution is 1.45 milliseconds. For 48000 Hz is 
1.33 ms. It is better than the 4 ms resolution of the default Linux 2.6 
kernel, anyway.

I can't set buffer sizes as big as 8192 samples, either. But for anything > 
1024 the problem is evident.
