If -d was given to arecord while commit
8aa13eec80 (now reverted) was in effect,
the last read would be shorter than the chunk size, but pcm_read would
read and return the chunk size, the samples were discarded, and
capture() continued in a loop because count never reached 0. arecord
opens a new file each loop iteration, if arecord is dynamically naming
files, --use-strftime option or beyond the wave 2GB limit, this will
generate a series of header only wave files. If the file is unique
the originally recorded data is lost and it will continue overwriting
the same file with a header only wave file.
While the current pcm_read can't fail (it can exit), it is better to
just fix this lurking bug in case it is "fixed" again.
