libcanberra: Fix sound not playing on Colibri iMX8X

Canberra does not specify a buffer size, which leads to ALSA rejecting the settings.
By specfiying a buffer time of 500ms and a period time with a fourth of that,
an appropriate buffer size can be calculated.

This behaviour is mimicked from aplay for compatibility.

+Subject: [PATCH] Determine audio buffer size for a time of 500ms
+
+On some hardware like the SGTL5000, not specifying a buffer size
+results to EINVAL being returned.
+
+This code sets the buffer time to 500ms and the period time to a fourth of that,
+or whatever is nearest to that.
+
+Upstream-Status: Pending
