The period interrupts are not accurate at all.  The ymfpci hardware
internally uses fixed periods of 256 frames at 48 kHz; the driver
reports a period interrupt when the next hardware interrupt at or after
a period boundary occurs.  The current position reported by the hardware
is the position at the time of the last hardware interrupt.

It should be possible to increase accuracy by using the hardware period
parameters (48 kHz _and_ 256 frames/period).

TODO: implement support for the NORESAMPLE flag.
