[PATCH v3 07/15] audio: copy playback stream in sequential order

["Volker Rümelin" <vr_qemu@t-online.de>]

Change the code to copy the playback stream in sequential order.
The advantage can be seen in the next patches where the stream
copy operation effectively becomes a write through operation.

The following diagram shows the average buffer fill level and
the stream copy sequence. ### represents a timer_period sized
chunk. The rest of the buffer sizes are not to scale.

With current code:
         |--------| |#####111| |---#####|
          sw->buf    mix_buf    backend buffer
  1. clip
         |--------| |---#####| |111##222|
          sw->buf    mix_buf    backend buffer
  2. write to audio device
  333 -> |--------| |---#####| |---111##| -> 222
          sw->buf    mix_buf    backend buffer
  3a. sw device write
         |-----333| |---#####| |---111##|
          sw->buf    mix_buf    backend buffer
  3b. resample and mix
         |--------| |333#####| |---111##|
          sw->buf    mix_buf    backend buffer

With this patch:
  111 -> |--------| |---#####| |---#####|
          sw->buf    mix_buf    backend buffer
  1a: sw device write
         |-----111| |---#####| |---#####|
          sw->buf    mix_buf    backend buffer
  1b. resample and mix
         |--------| |111##222| |---#####|
          sw->buf    mix_buf    backend buffer
  2. clip
         |--------| |---111##| |222##333|
          sw->buf    mix_buf    backend buffer
  3. write to audio device
         |--------| |---111##| |---222##| -> 333
          sw->buf    mix_buf    backend buffer

The effective total playback buffer size is reduced by
timer_period.
