Charles 27f97f6c45 monitors/alsa: Increase headroom for VMware and VirtualBox
Ubuntu received reports of very bad audio stuttering when running
25.10 in VMware & Virtualbox on Windows 11 hosts.

ac0d8ee4a8 dropped the headroom from
8192 samples to 2048. This seems fine for QEMU+KVM, but for unknown
reasons, the system emulation on Windows with these VMware/Virtualbox
is much slower, and xruns become frequent.

WirePlumber is a modular session / policy manager for
`PipeWire <https://pipewire.org>`_ and a GObject-based high-level library
that wraps PipeWire's API, providing convenience for writing the daemon's
modules as well as external tools for managing PipeWire.

The WirePlumber daemon implements the session & policy management service.
It follows a modular design, having plugins that implement the actual
management functionality.

The WirePlumber Library provides API that allows you to extend the WirePlumber
daemon, to write management or status tools for PipeWire
(apps that don't do actual media streaming) and to write custom session managers
for embedded devices.
