Thanks for the comments.
Actually, problem can be occurred with big file also.
Application usually requests draining after sending last frame.
If user clicks pause button after draining, pause will be failed
and the file just be played until end.
If application stop and start playback for this case,
start of last frame will be heard again because stop sets state to SETUP,
and write is needed to set the state to PREPARED for start.
If bitrate of the file is low, time stamp will be reversed and be heard weird.
I also hope this problem can be handled in userspace easily but I couldn't find a way for now.
I think that this is the time that I should share fixed patch following the comments to help the discussion.
Following opinions are added to the patch.
1. it's be much nicer to have a new state - Takashi
2. We can add this state to asound.h so the user space can be updated. - Jaroslav
3. don't forget to increase the SNDRV_COMPRESS_VERSION - Jaroslav
I'm bit wondering whether it is good to increase SNDRV_COMPRESS_VERSION
with a change in asound.h not in compress_offload.h.
Should I increase SNDRV_PCM_VERSION also?
And what happened if I request back-porting a patch which changes VERSION to stables?
Below is the patch just to help discussion.
I'll resend the fixed patch after this discussion is completed.
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.
If pause, resume are allowed during draining, user experience can be
enhanced.
The version is increased due to new behavior.
