Read vcounter after each buffer run, and during the idle loop.
If there is less than n samples before vblank, set z_min_buffer to the lowest possible value to ensure we don't enter a new buffer run before or at the vblank.
Based on my calculations, we should stop buffering at 28\~35 before vblank. The vblank will last for 32\~42 samples (NTSC) or 75\~100 (PAL V28) or 61\~82 (PAL V30).
The vcounter should not be read during vblank as it requires a 68k bus request (and hence, it will cause the Z80 to be halted by the VDP if DMA is in progress)
