Hi all,

I have come to realize that, whenever I drain() on a playback_handle to which a
number of sample non-multiple of the period_size has been written, my
application waits for several seconds to finally recover with an error EIO.

Is the driver supposed to play audio if less than period_size is present in the
buffer?

Is the application supposed to always add silence at the end to ensure that a
multiple of period_size has been written?

Thanks,
Guilhem.
