alsa-project/alsa-lib issue #96 was edited from orbea:

OS: `Slackware64-current`
alsa-lib: `1.2.4`
mpv: https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/commit/172146e9f7a231b5de21921d883612d18b13a717
yt-dlc: `2020.10.31` (https://github.com/blackjack4494/yt-dlc - bandcamp support is broken with youtube-dl currently)

When streaming music from bandcamp.com with alsa it will fail with a broken pipe when automatically changing tracks at the end of a track. This will not happen if the track is skipped.
```

    pcm: fix the snd_pcm_plugin_status() avail and delay fields
    
    The avail and delay fields in the returned status structure does not
    reflect the actual hw_ptr/appl_ptr. This change correct this.
    
    TODO: Unfortunately, the delay might contain also information about
    extra hardware / buffering delay which is hidden with this change.
