Play jitter coming from dshare

alsa-project/alsa-lib issue #221 was opened from davidboulangerlatour:

I have an application which plays a wav file (using dshare) at with a specific period (ie. every 720ms). This always worked well up to recently after upgrading alsa-lib from 1.1.7 to 1.2.4. With 1.2.4, the cycles look like this [750ms, 750ms, 750ms, 625ms], normally it would be [720ms, 720ms, ...].

When doing a bisect to find the issue, I found this commit to be the cause:

    pcm: dshare: Added "hw_ptr_alignment" option in configuration for alignment of slave pointers
    
    This change adapt the fix commit 6b058fda9dce
    ("pcm: dmix: Add option to allow alignment of slave pointers")
    for dshare plugin
    
    Issue is that snd_pcm_wait() goes back to waiting because the hw_ptr
    is not period aligned. Therefore snd_pcm_wait() will block for a longer
    time as required.
    
    With these rcar driver changes the exact position of the dma is returned.
    During snd_pcm_start they read hw_ptr as reference, and this hw_ptr
    is now not period aligned, and is a little ahead over the period while it
    is read. Therefore when the avail is calculated during snd_pcm_wait(),
    it is missing the avail_min by a few frames.
    
    An additional option hw_ptr_alignment is provided to dshare configuration,
    to allow the user to configure the slave application and hw pointer
    alignment at startup

I tried the more recent 1.2.6 with the same issue. I also tried all the "hw_ptr_alignment" options with no success.
