if requested by the IO plugin

Without this changes an IO plugin is not able to report
that buffer_size frames were read from the buffer.
When the buffer was full this is a valid action and
has not to be handled as an under run.

For example when the hw_ptr will be updated with
hw_ptr += buffer_size
and it is using the buffer_size as wrap around
hw_ptr %= buffer_size
would result in the same value as before the add operation.

A have attached a patch which improves the IO plug API.
If you are happy with this solution I would also adapt the pending
JACK plugin patch and set the SND_PCM_IOPLUG_FLAG_BOUNDARY_WA flag.

Yep, this looks better now.

A slightly complex procedure when extending an API is that you need
to check the existence of SND_PCM_IOPLUG_FLAG_BOUNDARY_WA in jack
plugin side at the compilation time.  Or make AM_PATH_ALSA() in
alsa-utils/configure.ac aligned with this change, but it won't work
until the release of alsa-lib itself.


thanks,

Takashi

That said, I'd happily merge the patch once when seeing the
corresponding change in jack plugin side.
