The current daily build has a "hack" to enable testing this. I do the
immediate spindown only if you've set the spindown time to < 20 sec (which should
be the case for "normal" users, 5 s is the default). So you can test with
continuous disk by setting the spindown value to something that is:
a) >= 20 sec
b) long enough to bridge the gaps between buffer refills.
