Change the code to copy the playback stream in sequential order.
The advantage can be seen in the next patches where the stream
copy operation effectively becomes a write through operation.
The following diagram shows the average buffer fill level and
the stream copy sequence. ### represents a timer_period sized
chunk. The rest of the buffer sizes are not to scale.
With current code:
|--------| |#####111| |---#####|
sw->buf mix_buf backend buffer
1. clip
|--------| |---#####| |111##222|
sw->buf mix_buf backend buffer
2. write to audio device
333 -> |--------| |---#####| |---111##| -> 222
sw->buf mix_buf backend buffer
3a. sw device write
|-----333| |---#####| |---111##|
sw->buf mix_buf backend buffer
3b. resample and mix
|--------| |333#####| |---111##|
sw->buf mix_buf backend buffer
With this patch:
111 -> |--------| |---#####| |---#####|
sw->buf mix_buf backend buffer
1a: sw device write
|-----111| |---#####| |---#####|
sw->buf mix_buf backend buffer
1b. resample and mix
|--------| |111##222| |---#####|
sw->buf mix_buf backend buffer
2. clip
|--------| |---111##| |222##333|
sw->buf mix_buf backend buffer
3. write to audio device
|--------| |---111##| |---222##| -> 333
sw->buf mix_buf backend buffer
The effective total playback buffer size is reduced by
timer_period.
