PulseAudio: force minreq to less than half tlength (refs #7827)

This should work-around distorsion due to excessively short latency
computation in PulseAudio, e.g. NVIDIA HDMI Audio.

In the longer term, VLC should probably set minreq to 40ms and tlength
to a larger value or even -1. But that would require more testing.
