/// To convert `fifo_depth` to the corresponding number of audio frames, use the frame size

/// is not necessarily a multiple size of an audio frame.

/// The ring buffer data may be directly consumed/generated by hardware, in this case

/// block determines the amount of data read ahead or held back.

/// The ring buffer data may instead be consumed/generated by audio driver software that is
/// conceptually situated between the ring buffer and the audio hardware. In this case, for
/// playback the `fifo_depth` read ahead amount is set large enough such that the driver

/// `fifo_depth` held back amount is set large enough such that the driver guarantees no
/// undetected underruns when generating the data as determined by the `CreateRingBuffer` and
/// `Start` commands. The driver must set `fifo_depth` big enough such that the potential
