With a stream with low bitrate, user can't pause or resume the stream near the end of the stream because current ALSA doesn't allow it. If the stream has very low bitrate enough to store whole stream into the buffer, user can't do anything except stop the stream and then restart it from the first because most of applications call draining after sending last frame to the kernel. If pause, resume are allowed during draining, user experience can be enhanced. To prevent malfunction in HW drivers which don't support pause during draining, pause during draining will only work if HW driver enable this feature explicitly by calling snd_compr_use_pause_in_draining().
I cant think of a better solution so:
