From: Takashi Iwai tiwai@suse.de Date: Thu, 4 Jan 2018 16:39:27 +0100 Subject: ALSA: pcm: Add missing error checks in OSS emulation plugin builder

From: Takashi Iwai tiwai@suse.de

commit 6708913750344a900f2e73bfe4a4d6dbbce4fe8d upstream.

In the OSS emulation plugin builder where the frame size is parsed in the plugin chain, some places miss the possible errors returned from the plugin src_ or dst_frames callback.

This patch papers over such places.
