I've uploaded this patch a couple of days ago but I haven't received any
reply yet ... Basically this function returned a value of '13' almost
anytime it was called by the input plugin. This value is used to
timestamp audio data that gets enqueued for visualisation. Ofcourse that
way it was never dequeued. This fixed the problem for me but I don't
have the time to find out if it is the correct solution.
