If 96 frames are enough for stability (and say 64 isn't), then sample 96
- 127 in a 128 frame buffer are a waste of memory anyway and only adds
to latency.

It may even be so that a set of shorter buffers that are only partially
aligned - but allocated as one continous area - may have a greater
chance of fitting into available cache, without trashing other important
data.
