ALSA: doc: Fix PCM interface section typos

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.
