Workaround a bug in Pulse Audio (http://pulseaudio.org/ticket/866) that causes 2 second delay while trying to drain the current stream. It seems that if we wait for the data to be played before calling the pa_stream_drain function, it would not block for the whole duration of its internal buffer, thus avoid the 2 seconds delay. The code of this workaround is already used in ao_jack and ao_sdl. Special thanks to Rune Heggtveit <pblc heggtveit n> who did all the heavy lifting in finding a working solution.
