I complained about this skipping of last replay seconds already some time ago
to Klaus.
It's caused by the input tread canceling the output tread when the replayed
file is finished. But there are > 1MByte still in the ouput buffer which seems
to be rather discarded than send to the driver.
It was causing  >5..10sec with buffer sizes around 8MByte, so I currently use
seperate buffer sizes for the recording object (8MByte) then for the replay
object (256kByte).
This works ok but it's not yet cleaned up.
