For computation of the the next frame size current value of fs/fps and accumulated fractional parts of fs/fps are used, where values are stored in Q16.16 format. This is quite natural for computing frame size for asynchronous endpoints driven by explicit feedback, since in this case fs/fps is a value provided by the feedback endpoint and it's already in the Q format. If an error is accumulated over time, the device can adjust fs/fps value to prevent buffer overruns/underruns. But for synchronous endpoints the accuracy provided by these computations is not enough. Due to accumulated error the driver periodically produces frames with incorrect size (+/- 1 audio sample). This patch fixes this issue by implementing a different algorithm for frame size computation. It is based on accumulating of the remainders from division fs/fps and it doesn't accumulate errors over time. This new method is enabled for synchronous and adaptive playback endpoints.

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.
