The observed behavior is that any nonzero timeout value would hang until the device was paused and resumed. And a zero timeout value would always return 0 frames written even when audio fragments could be heard. Making a manual timeout system unworkable.
None of the straightforward systems imply that there's a detectable problem before the call to AAudioStream_write(). And the callback set within AAudioStreamBuilder_setErrorCallback() does not get called as we enter the hang state.
I've found that AAudioStream_getTimestamp() will report an error state from another thread. So this change codifies that behavior a bit until a better fix or more root cause can be found.
