When I do all this, it still causes the chipmunk speed. Several seconds
of audio gets played in 0.3s or so. Sorry if this is taking too much of
your time, I'm a bit lost here at what the alsa core is expecting.

Printks show the following repeats:
start, period size 1024
push, bool irq=0
irq fired
push, bool irq=1
pointer at 8192
stop

It stops and starts again for some reason. This does not happen in the
current pos/nextpos implementation.

Can it really handle a constraint this complex? That'd be impressive.
It'd remove the memcpy need if so.

Yes, but I was wondering if a different setup would work better. The
alsa setup is a bit confusing to me still.
