Looks like it's just a magic number.  See xmms/plugin.h:

        void (*add_vis_pcm) (int time, AFormat fmt, int nch, int length, void *p
tr); /* Send data to the visualization plugins 
                                                                                
        Preferably 512 samples/block */
