ok, I made the fix, plus there was another place that variable was
being set incorrectly.  both fixes are in CVS now.

actually, there are two versions of the playback loop, controlled
by a #define currently.  can you try compiling with RESERVOIR_TEST
defined and see if that is better?

the reason I ask has to do with my next question... is 512 a magic
number or it is just smaller and hence better?  because RESERVOIR_TEST
sends 576 samples at a time for performance reasons (it's an integral
multiple of the blocksize).
