If driver specify no rewind flag, should alsa lib

1) return error when application call snd_pcm_rewind() and
snd_pcm_forward() ?
2) return zero when call snd_pcm_rewindable() and snd_pcm_forwardable()

How can the application recover when hw_ptr is behind appl_ptr when stop
threshold is set to boundary ?

Do you mean compressed audio stream don't support rewind and forward ?
