snd_pcm_rewind() is in alsa-lib, not alsa-plugins. I don't know how the
plugins do rewinding - I didn't find any rewind callbacks in the rate
converter nor in the pulse plugin code. (I'm not familiar with alsa
code, so I might have looked at the wrong places.)

Where did you find that function? The only mention that I found was in
an alsa-devel discussion in 2008. I didn't find it in the alsa api
documentation.
