paaudio: limit minreq to 75% of audio timer_rate

Currently with the playback buffer attribute minreq = -1 and flag
PA_STREAM_EARLY_REQUESTS PulseAudio uses minreq = tlength / 4.
To improve audio playback with larger PulseAudio server side
buffers, limit minreq to a maximum of 75% of audio timer_rate.
That way there is a good chance qemu receives a stream buffer
size update before it tries to write data to the playback stream.
