[Spice-devel] [PATCH] sound: fix pointer arithmetic in snd_record_handle_write()

The variable 'now' counts in audio sample frames, but the variable
'data' is of type uint8_t *. Multiply 'now' by the size of an audio
sample frame to get the correct source pointer.

This improves the quality of audio recordings in QEMU a little bit.

Fixes: 5d5a7bd181 ("sound: Avoid cast that could cause alignment problems")
