Not sure. The general logic of snd_pcm_recover should be like this:

for (;;) {
      if ((err = snd_pcm_writei(....)) >= 0) 
         /* Success */
         break;

      /* Failure, try to recover */
      if ((err = snd_pcm_recover(..., err)) < 0) {

         /* Failed to recover, we have a real issue */
         fprintf(stderr, "Things went very wrong: %s", snd_strerror(err));
         break;
      } 

      /* Recovered, let's try another write */
}

This probably won't fix your issue, but it will shorten your code
quite a bit I would say and make it more robust.

snd_pcm_prepare() should be called only once after
init. snd_pcm_recover() will implicitly call _prepare() in all other
cases.
