This test seems to rely on alsasrc being able to output data when PLAYING.

The problem is that alsasrc could be preset AND responsive (there is a device),
but not output anything in PLAYING. This seems to be the case with pulse audio
systems (see f13 buildslave, also reproduceable on a freshly installed gentoo
~amd64 with pulseaudio/alsa).

Add to that the fact that adder silently discards FALSE seek requests from
upstream (in this case alsasrc will return FALSE).
