audio: copy playback stream in sequential order

Change the code to copy the playback stream in sequential order.
The advantage can be seen in the next patches where the stream
copy operation effectively becomes a write through operation.

The following diagram shows the average buffer fill level and
the stream copy sequence. ### represents a timer_period sized
chunk. The rest of the buffer sizes are not to scale.

With current code:
         |--------| |#####111| |---#####|
          sw->buf    mix_buf    backend buffer
  1. clip
         |--------| |---#####| |111##222|
          sw->buf    mix_buf    backend buffer
  2. write to audio device
  333 -> |--------| |---#####| |---111##| -> 222
          sw->buf    mix_buf    backend buffer
  3a. sw device write
         |-----333| |---#####| |---111##|
          sw->buf    mix_buf    backend buffer
  3b. resample and mix
         |--------| |333#####| |---111##|
          sw->buf    mix_buf    backend buffer

With this patch:
  111 -> |--------| |---#####| |---#####|
          sw->buf    mix_buf    backend buffer
  1a: sw device write
         |-----111| |---#####| |---#####|
          sw->buf    mix_buf    backend buffer
  1b. resample and mix
         |--------| |111##222| |---#####|
          sw->buf    mix_buf    backend buffer
  2. clip
         |--------| |---111##| |222##333|
          sw->buf    mix_buf    backend buffer
  3. write to audio device
         |--------| |---111##| |---222##| -> 333
          sw->buf    mix_buf    backend buffer

The effective total playback buffer size is reduced by
timer_period.
