That's tough. We, at least you, are experts in sound, but most users 
are not, they (musicians, sound designers, etc..) use a sound engine, 
and dont want to bother with cryptic buffer sizes, they just want the 
system to work well, otherwise they drop it.
But I agree if by "users" you mean people who link their application 
with Fluid, like me who is doing this Xtra. But then, if Fluid does 
not provide for an adaptive buffer size, I'm going to be "secure" and 
set a large buffer size for all hardware, because, as a user of the 
API, I dont have access to the low-level driver information...

That may be a good minimal 'automatic' behavior for Fluid. Is there a 
way to do this ?
