So "./pulse-test 48000 2 120" makes pacmd > list-sink-inputs return "requested latency: 100,00 ms".
The overall latency of your stream (which you specify with tlength) consists of a per-stream server side buffer plus the hw buffer plus some extra room in the middle for moving blocks between those buffers. That means that if you set tlength to some value the hw buffer size will be set to some smaller value than that.
