It seem that the difference between the application pointer and the hardware
pointer is just the theoretical value which none of the sound card can
achieve
static snd_pcm_sframes_t snd_pcm_hw_rewindable(snd_pcm_t *pcm)
{
return snd_pcm_mmap_hw_avail(pcm);
}
To allow the application rewind the application pointer to hardware pointer
and rewrite the next sample immediately at any time
The audio controller have to fetch the audio data as the same rate as the
sampling rate.
The practical value may be the difference between the application pointer
and the nearest period boundary
