This check was added 9 years ago in commit
4dc25d3908 to work around a dmix bug
which I assume has been fixed long ago.
Removing this fixes another corner case: if draining is requested
before the start threshold is reached, the PCM is still in
SND_PCM_STATE_PREPARED but not yet SND_PCM_STATE_RUNNING, which means
the submitted data will never be played. This corner case is
realistic when playing songs shorter than the ALSA buffer (if the
buffer is very large).
Music Player Daemon
A daemon for playing music of various formats. Music is played through the server's audio device. The daemon stores info about all available music, and this info can be easily searched and retrieved. Player control, info retrieval, and playlist management can all be managed remotely.
For basic installation instructions read the manual.
