The method Cancel() assumes that the `period_buffer` must be empty
when `active==false`, but that is not the case when Play() fails.

Of course the assertion in Cancel() is not 100% correct, but I decided
to rather fix this in LockCaughtError() because the `period_buffer`
should only be accessed from within the RTIO thread, and this is the
only code path where `active` can be set to `false` with a non-empty
`period_buffer`.

Fixes #423
