Have a look at oxygen_trigger() in sound/pci/oxygen/oxygen_pcm.c for a
working sync start/stop implementation.

There is no guarantee the all linked substreams belong to the same card
or the same driver; you have to check that first and ignore streams you
don't know about.

You can just call snd_pcm_trigger_done() for every substream you handle.

There is no common code for the two substreams.
Is your hardware actually capable of starting them at exactly the same
time?
