If the device can't take any more data, it should just refuse to accept it and return from the write() call without anything written.
I disagree. Simply returning from write() implies the data was written and the device is ready for more. If this is not true then you risk making the sync even worse. I consulted with people familiar with this type of stuff and it was suggested the problem could (and should) be fixed at the driver level so I'm following up on that now. Hopefully we'll find a good (or at least resonable) solution to this last little bit of a/v sync frustration.
