From: Timo Wischer <twischer at de.adit-jv.com>

snd_pcm_avail_update() can call snd_pcm_jack_stop() but
snd_pcm_jack_stop() should not be called by the JACK thread.
It should only be called by the thread how has called
snd_pcm_jack_start().

In addition the execution of snd_pcm_avail_update() can take a while.
Therefore it should not be called by the JACK thread to not block this
thread.

v2 uses snd_pcm_uframes_t as type for avail and does not check for avail < 0
becasue snd_pcm_ioplug_avail() will never retrun a value < 0
