	I don't feel "strongly" that this is incorrect; Simon may have more
information on this.  But, basically it is just added overhead to do it that
way since you will get repeated calls to the callback which may or may not
be related to what you want.  I.e. you may get 10-100 calls to the callback
if there is a lot of work remaining.

	If you use the watermark you don't have to do any checks or worry
about multiple callbacks.  The next time you get a write callback you simply
know it is safe to close the buffer.  My understanding of the info callback
is that it is meant more for pure information gathering, i.e. kb/s tracking
for instance.

	But, it seems like the solution you found can work, just seems like
it's not the best way.
