The only way to know is to verify all the possible cases in
jack_ringbuffer_write_space() and jack_ringbuffer_read_space(),
taking into account that the masking operation may not have
been applied at the time these are called, and that 'the other'
*_ptr could be >= size.
Note that this is *much* simpler in the C++ class that
I poster earlier - there are no conditions at all in
write_avail() or read_avail(). The essential difference
is that I don't mask the stored values of _nrd and _nwr
(the equivalents of read_ptr and write_ptr). This also
removes the ambiguity between an empty and full buffer.
The downside is that it depends on the user code acting
in the correct way (which seems reasonable).
