Ah, right, that's another thing. The hosts do. In reality most
probably are already aligned, but the weird cycle size thing some do
circumvents that, of course.

As it happens, none of this buffer size stuff is actually guaranteed by
Jack, which would need to happen to make implementing buffer size
guarantees actually possible. IIRC in Jack1 it is always true, but not
always for Jack2. If so, there needs to be Jack API for the host to
know what it can actually guarantee.
