Please don't do this!  That would be horrible for non-real-time
applications.
I don't think that PortAudio should ever be passing back samples that
don't
exist.

This would be fine for what I want to do, I guess.  I still don't like
the idea
of passing back zeros.  If they came in the middle of a recording they
would
almost completely ruin the recording.
