A few fixes and updates have been added, including recovery from DMA
underflow. The value returned from chn_getptr() in chn_checkunderflow()
may get a lag when we get back to chn_write(), which is likely to
cause noise.

Consider a DMA buffer capable to hold 10 samples, as shown below.

        DMA buffer      0123456789
        Sample          ----------
        Buffer Pointer  R---------
                        F---------
        Playing Point   P---------

Since a DMA keeps running even after underflow occurs, P may advance,
leaving F.

        DMA buffer      0123456789
        Sample          ----------
        Buffer Pointer  R---------
                        F---------
        Playing Point   --P-------

If we fill the buffer with new samples in this situation, play begins
from somewhere in the middle of the samples. In the case shown below,
the sample c is the first one to be played. The sample a and b are
played after j, causing noise.

        DMA buffer      0123456789
        Sample          abcdefghij
        Buffer Pointer  R---------
                        F---------
        Playing Point   --P-------  -->  cdefghijab

In order to avoid the lag, we can advance F upon underflow. A quarter
of the DMA buffer size would be fair.

        DMA buffer      0123456789
        Sample          --abcdefgh
        Buffer Pointer  R---------
                        --F-------
        Playing Point   --P-------  -->  abcdefgh


With the following patch, x11amp and mpg123 play with no noise even
under an extremely heavy load of more than 50 :)
