Ok, i understand this time :-)
However i'm surprised you thought of this can where an application would 
just stop sending data, as it's not possible to happen.
ALSA applications are expected to call snd_pcm_pause() if they want to 
stop sending data without closing the stream. In practive this is rarely 
used, as not all hardware support this feature.
If they don't call snd_pcm_pause(), an underrun will occur, which must 
be handle as an error later (i.e. hardware is then in an inconsistent 
state).

Could you provide details on why you think this was needed ?

Cheers,

Fabien
