ALSA: hda - force use of SSYNC bits
SSYNC bits are typically used to start multiple streams synchronously. It makes sense to use them for a single stream for a more predictable startup sequence. The transfers only start once the DMA and FIFOs are ready. This results in a better correlation between timestamps and number of samples played. Credits to Kar Leong Wang for suggesting this improvement. Signed-off-by: Pierre-Louis Bossart <pierre-louis.bossart@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
