Bummer. Thank you for looking.

I'm working on a PulseAudio driver for Wine. One of the functions the
driver needs to perform is a "Reset" which dumps all of the data
sitting in the record buffer and resets the readable size to 0. I was
hoping to use pa_stream_readable_size() in order to tell how much data
is in the buffer ready to be read, but that seems incompatible with
the requirement of dumping the data on Reset.
