This doesn't scale the margin with the duration which will affect the sensitivity of the test to misclocking. It should make it less sensitive which is *probably* safer but at least worth noting.
We might also have issues with some of the lower sample rates, IIRC some devices are constrained in ways that mean they want a minimum buffer size which is harder to satisfy with very short playbacks and low sample rates.
I don't know why Jaroslav picked the 4s number here.
You basically replied yourself. The values (time + margin) were picked to do the DMA test for a reasonable time - based on my experience.
I think that the problem is somewhere else here. The overall test timeout should be calculated dynamically. All tests may be queried for the maximal expected interval based on the hardware/software capabilities. It's a bit pitfall to have a fixed time limit where the realtime tests depend on the number of devices.
