[PATCH RESEND] ALSA: doc: Fix PCM interface section typos

From: Miquel Raynal
Date: Mon Jan 30 2023 - 11:29:38 EST


Fix two mistakes in the PCM interface section:
1/ Members of the snd_pcm_hardware structure are channels_{min,max}
and not channel_{min,max} (mind the 's').
2/ Another sentence is incomplete as the reference to one structure
member (period_bytes_max) is missing.

There is no relevant 'Fixes:' tag to apply as both typos predate the
Git era.

Hello, I wrote and sent this patch in 2019 but I likely only Cc'd Jon
and the doc ML, which might have not been enough, so just in case, here
is a resend.
