alsaloop: reduce cumulative error caused by non-atomic samples calculation
When doing loopback between two audio card with
same sampling frequency, I noticed slow increase
of pitch_diff.
When I changed order of get_queued_playback_samples()
vs get_queued_capture_samples(), I noticed same drift
of pitch_diff but if was decreasing this time.
This seems to be caused by non-atomic consecutive
snd_pcm_delay() invocation for playback then for
capture. snd_pcm_delay() measures delay between
read/write call and actual ADC/DAC operation.
So while we get this value for playback path in
get_queued_playback_samples(), next call to
get_queued_capture_samples() will happen a little
bit later so snd_pcm_delay() may return incorrect
value.
Be interleaving get_queued_{playback,capture}_samples()
order, we divide this small error between playback
and capture paths. I do not see any issues anymore
with one-way drift of pitch_diff.
