You seem to be misunderstanding the problem here.  This is not about a
buffer xrun because the application didn't submit enough PCM samples
in time; this is about a crash due to an assertion failure, i.e. a bug
in libffado2.

Please do not close this bug report until there is a new Debian
revision which does not crash (or until there is evidence that my test
program is bugged, indirectly causing the crash).
