Uhmm.. no, when the dma_counter wraps around the comparison gives wrong
result, unless 4G is divisible by the buffer size.

Please consider this patch (to apply after yours). It computes the new period
using pipe->position before and after adding the amount of bytes tranferred
since the previous period.
Briefly tested - It seems ok.
