Hrm, this looks like it's going to have an issue with clock drift -
we're now unconditionally advancing the timer every period, even if the
data transfer hasn't pushed through a period of data.  This will cause
problems on lengthy playbacks (and shorter ones if the clocks are
sufficiently out of sync).
