Yes, this error indicates the underrun and indeed the error message
could be improved. I'll change it in v8.

I'm wondering too.. stopping DMA in a error case removes this ambiguity
and that's why in my previous answer to v6 I suggested to drop this patch.

Do you think it's worth to keep this patch?
