Well, the message says "use 8 periods for capture and playback" so
that's what I would try. I seem to vaguely remeber something about the
96/8 that was like this, it had a weird setting for periods or buffer or
something like that. Start with periods=8 and see what it tells you (you
may need to get the buffer down).
