This fixes a bug when trying to play files with size smaller than maximum supported header size. Lets have a look at the following example: $ aplay -s 2 sample.raw -> playback_go(fd = 10, loaded = 26, count = 2, name="sample.raw") --> l = loaded = 26 --> c = count - written = 2 --> c -= l = 2 - 26 = -24 ---> r = safe_read(fd, audiobuf + 26, -24) ---> r = -1, EXIT_FAILURE In this case we have already 'loaded' from the input file more bytes that we need to send to pcm device. So, we need to adjust the number of bytes loaded and avoid reading a negative number of bytes.
