  How can I stop audio dma, reload the registers with different pointers,
and restart, without busy waiting. The hardware manual states that if
the channel is disabled for less than two sampling periods, it may
restart where it left off (sounds more like a bug than a feature :-)).
Currently I shut off the dma and set the period to 1 and busy wait.
Is there a better, faster, way? 
(I *want* to stop the previous sound immediately)
