Um. Normally you don't advocate code bloat and waste of
memory and CPU time (> 2MB/s is a possible value even if you disregard
the really insane audio sampling rates and channel counts that are
actually possible and in (rare) use), esp. for something that in my
uneducated eyes seems almost trivial to do in the driver (though it
would conflict with closing the device on pause).

I tried this _twice_, I'm not going to propose a third variant any time
soon, no sorry.
