This bug breaks playback of audio/L16 (aka LPCM) in gmrender-resurrect:

https://github.com/hzeller/gmrender-resurrect/issues/14

audio/L16 is used frequently in UPnP/DLNA streaming. In particular, it is a
mandatory format for a device to be DLNA certified. 
When an UPnP/DLNA device doesn't support a particular audio codec, it is
frequent that media servers transcode to audio/L16. It is also used by media
servers that generate realtime audio streams, like the output of an audio card.

That's why I think fixing this bug is important.

As a side not, this mutiple of 4 issue doesn't seem to happen on x86. 
But it sure do happen on ARM, for example on Raspberry Pi.
I suppose that on x86, read() always return data whose size is multiple of 4.
