Thanks for looking into this!

I see what you mean. When the have_free_buffer() function returns
false in the callback, there are still queued blocks in the stream
although there are no free buffers in the buffer pool. I think the
best way to solve this is to get the number of free buffers in the
buffer pool by 'BufferStrategyControl.lastFreeBuffer -
BufferStrategyControl.firstFreeBuffer' and then compare it with
'stream->pending_read_nblocks'. When the 'stream->pending_read_nblocks
== number_of_free_buffers_in_buffer_pool', end the stream. The problem
with that is stream->pending_read_nblocks isn't public, also I am not
sure whether 'BufferStrategyControl.lastFreeBuffer -
BufferStrategyControl.firstFreeBuffer' is safe to use.
