Yes, loop is better.
I'd actually do while(true) and avoid using the done variable.
if (!(!frames_left && fifo_samples >= runtime->channels))
break;
will do the trick. Better yet, do
if (frames_left || fifo_samples < runtime->channels)
break;
because double negation is quite confusing and looks like typo.
