in alsa pcm, there are two routes to update the hwptr, namely, snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr_interrupt() and snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr(). the former is called through snd_pcm_period_elapsed(), which is originally called from the device's interrupt handler. meanwhile, the latter is called from timer tick and some ioctl handlers (reset, read, write). these routines are quite similar, and we can clean up them more...
