This patch allows the audio backends get_buffer_out() functions
to drop audio data and mitigates a bug reported on the qemu-devel
mailing list.
https://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2020-09/msg03832.html
The new rules for the variables buf and size returned by
get_buffer_out() are:
size == 0: Downstream playback buffer is full. Retry later.
size > 0, buf != NULL: Copy size bytes to buf for playback.
size > 0, buf == NULL: Drop size bytes.
The audio playback rate with spiceaudio for the no audio case is
too fast, but that's what we had before commit fb35c2cec5
"audio/dsound: fix invalid parameters error". The complete fix
comes with the next patch.
