I highly recommend to review well known clients like aplay.c in alsa-utils 
for reference. 

E.g. here, it's not guaranteed all hardware drivers support all period 
sizes. Typically you either use the ALSA plugin layer and not access hw 
devices directly, and/or use the "_near" variants like aplay does:

aplay.c:
        if (period_time > 0)
                err = snd_pcm_hw_params_set_period_time_near(handle, params,
                                                             &period_time, 
                                                             0);

... with _near(), you of course need to handle the case where the value 
set doesn't exactly match what you requested.

Br, Kai
