Description

this fixes a "pcm0:virtual:0:dsp0.2: play interrupt timeout, channel dead" error
and sound breaking off after a few seconds of playback I encountered on my
Thinkpad X40. It was discussed on freebsd-current in 20041 but that code is no
longer present in FreeBSD while we still have it.

The patch2 removes a line fixing a channel timeout to 1 tick instead of the
value calculated immediately beforehand, thus restoring the calculation.

Interestingly, this problem is gone for me on master even with the forced timeout.

There are multiple problems here not the least of which being that a timeout of 1 tick is too low anyway, because it can wind up happening 1ns later (the next tick interrupt). So the minimum is 2 and the calculation also needs to average-up fractional results. I will commit a fix which calculates it properly.

I've committed 29ca9567 to master and cherry-pick'd it over to the 4.0 release. Please test.
