Only increasing the hw_ptr is not sufficient
because it will not be evaluated by the ALSA library
to detect an Xrun.

In addition there is a raise where an Xrun detected by the JACK thread
could not be detected in the ALSA thread.
- In playback use case
- The hw_ptr will be increased by the JACK thread
  (hw_ptr > appl_ptr => Xrun)
- But the ALSA thread increases the appl_ptr before evaluating the
hw_ptr
- Therefore the hw_ptr < appl_ptr again
- ALSA will not detect the Xrun which was already detected by the
JACK thread

Therefore an additional variable is required to report an Xrun from the
JACK thread to ALSA.

Thanks, I applied it now.

But, at the next time you send a patchset, please don't continue from
the old thread.  It's pretty confusing.

Does it mean I should not replay-to any old mail and send a completely new mail?
But how to mark that this patch was adapted and the updated one was applied?

You can reply a mail to the old thread.  But it shouldn't be the start
of another patch series.

If you do submit a new patch series, do it from scratch.  And if it's
a revised patchset, put "v2" or such prefix, too.
