mmdevapi: More accurately track device position

Hi folks,

I have a significant patch to the ALSA driver which I hope will improve audio playback for PulseAudio users, especially users with audio that stops playing or is choppy. Before I push this for inclusion in Wine, I was hoping to get some feedback from users still having issues using Wine with PulseAudio.

The patch is attached to this comment. It will apply to wine-git (d6a59f755eff), it will not apply to Wine 1.7.19. Please build unmodified Wine with this patch and let me know if this results in any changes to your audio situation. Please confirm in winecfg that you are using the winealsa driver before testing.

Specifically I'm interested to know:

What problems did you have before when using the ALSA driver? Are there any noticeable changes as a result of applying this patch? Do any problems remain?

What type of audio hardware do you have (e.g. a USB headset, built-in audio)? If possible, what make/model is it? "aplay -L" may give you a hint.

Please post your test results here, or email me directly if you prefer.
