As already anticipated in the original commit, playback was broken for
very short samples. I just didn't expect it to be an actual problem,
because we're talking about less than 1.5 milliseconds here. But clearly
such wavetable samples do actually exist.
The problem was that for such short samples we'd set the current
position beyond the end of the loop, so we'd run off the end of the
sample and play garbage.
This is a bigger (more audible) problem than the original one, which was
that we'd start playback with garbage (whatever was still in the cache),
which would be mostly masked by the note's attack phase.
So revert to the old behavior for now. We'll subsequently fix it
properly with a bigger patch series.
Note that this isn't a full revert - the dead code is not re-introduced,
because that would be silly.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
