output/alsa: don't call snd_pcm_drain() if nothing was written

Works around a problem where MPD goes into a busy loop because
snd_pcm_drain() always returns `-EAGAIN` without making any progress
(fixes #425).

This problem was triggered by snd_pcm_drain() after snd_pcm_cancel()
and snd_pcm_prepare(), but without submitting any data with
snd_pcm_writei().

I believe this is a kernel bug: in non-blocking mode, the kernel's
snd_pcm_drain() function returns early.  In this mode, it only checks
whether snd_pcm_drain_done() has been called already, but
snd_pcm_drain_done() is never called if no data was submitted.

In blocking mode, the following `for` loop detects this condition, so
snd_pcm_drain_done() is not necessary, but without this extra check,
we get `-EAGAIN` forever.
