paaudio: send recorded data in smaller chunks

Tell PulseAudio to send recorded audio data in smaller chunks
than timer_period, so there's a good chance that qemu can read
recorded audio data every time it looks for new data.

PulseAudio tries to send buffer updates at a fragsize / 2 rate.
With fragsize = timer_period / 2 * 3 the update rate is 75% of
timer_period. The lower limit for the recording buffer size
maxlength is fragsize * 2.
