Hi Ricardo,

Thank you for the patch.

An explanation of why this is the case would be good in the commit
message. Also, by overflow, are you talking about the SOF counter
rolling over ?

I would rather support multiple roll-over in the clock interpolator.
Dropping older sampls will lead to less predictable behaviour and harder
to debug issues.
