Hi!

The pcm buffer low watermark level was increased because some people were
reporting problems that pcm buffer goes empty on certain situations. Now
I have decreased the level much and I hope the current setting would
prevent these problems from happening. However, if crossfade is enabled we
need to keep the buffer always as filled as possible.
