I don't really know ;-)
In fact the current ao_alsa code assign 512 or 1024 to chunk_size
depending on the value of the -abs option (which the manpage
document as obsolete and for oss only ! Should probably be
updated but I don't really know how.)
These values are not documented in the current code, so I can't
document them myself. My code simply try the other value if
the first one failed.
