[PATCH 15/30] asc: generate silence if FIFO empty but engine still running
Posted by Mark Cave-Ayland 1 year, 9 months ago
MacOS (un)helpfully leaves the FIFO engine running even when all the samples have
been written to the hardware, and expects the FIFO status flags and IRQ to be
updated continuously.

Since not all audio backends guarantee an all-zero output when no data is
provided, explicitly generate an all-zero output when this condition occurs to
avoid the audio backends re-using their internal buffers and looping audio once
the FIFOs are empty.
