128 seems to be fine. It's not consistent, sometimes 64 works ok,
sometimes it overruns (says so in the console and hitches). 128 has
never overrun, neither visually (saying it in the console), nor audible
(clicks/pops).

  output

Status in ALSA driver:
  Confirmed

  Incomplete

Bug description:
  This is tested against a Creative Labs Sounblaster live! (sb0410) card
  and a SoundBlaster Audigy se (sb0570). Both of them behave strangely,
  output coming through some, but not all speakers, etc. This was
  working in 13.10 under the sb0410. the ca0106 driver is the same for
  both cards.
