But PLIB asks the OSS API how many bytes are free in the input buffer and
always writes that number.  I think there must be something wrong with
the slDSP::secondsRemaining function for this device.

But that's exactly what 'secondsRemaining' is doing (except that it's
supposed to be implemented on every platform and it doesn't export the
concept of 'fragments' which isn't meaningful at this level.

I don't think this is the correct patch for whatever your problem is.
