I think you are correct in that there is an alsa bug.  It seems that
pulseaudio 0.9.14 didn't exhibit this bug in the driver, but pulseaudio
0.9.22 does.
It seems like the rewind is causing the driver to not have data in its first
hw buffer, the dropout in the beginning is a hw buffer size.

Thanks
