Yes, a residue of 0 and of buf_size are equivalent. And the fact that
residue may be 0 for cyclic DMA is just leakage through our abstraction
layers when cyclic DMA is emulated using "normal" DMA. For real cyclic DMA
residue should never be zero.
The value which is returned by the pcm_pointer callback needs to less than
buffer_size, otherwise the ALSA core code will report an error. So if
residue is 0 and we'd not do any special handling for this case we'd return
buffer_size here.
