    - wodGetPosition does not send an update message to the player thread;
    this reduces the accuracy of the readout from byte-accuracy to near
    fragment-accuracy, but we save 2-4 context switches and kernel
    scheduling penalties.
    - if FeedDSP runs out of data, do not flush output buffers before
    notifications are sent and given the chance to provide more sound data.
    Do not flush before we're down to the last fragment.
    - messages to the player thread are signaled using Unix pipes instead
    of Win32 synchronization primitives, to avoid having the player thread
    wait for the wineserver (and context switches from/to it) before the
    it can feed more data to the sound card.
    - ring buffer size is increased from 30 to 192 to support some games
    that fires 128 messages at once to determine DMA buffer size.
