This solves various issues around event association for buffering and
error throwing around period discontinuities.
The main changes are:
- Logic around being "ready" at the end of a period no longer checks if the
next period is prepared.
- Advancing the playing period no longer checks if the next one is prepared.
- Prepare errors are always thrown for the playing period.
This changes the semantics and assumptions about the "playing" period:
1. The playing period can no longer assumed to be prepared.
2. We no longer have a case where the queue is non-empty and the playing or
reading periods are unassigned (=null).
Most other code changes ensure that these changed assumptions are handled.
