Is the output supposed to be playing or muted at this time?
This appears to be a problem with PA's volume handling.
It might be caused by incorrect dB volume information of the HDA codec,
or by a bug in PA.

It allows to rewrite already written parts of the audio buffer; it's used
to apply the new volume to samples that have not yet been actually played.
