In the thread mentioned, Alan proposed me amongst other things to test 
the LRCK level before starting the SSC. This works well for me. Maybe it 
should be implemented in a more generic way but the following 
modification does the trick for me.

in function  atmel_pcm_trigger inside file sound/soc/atmel/atmel-pcm.c :

case SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_START:
+while(!at91_get_gpio_value(AT91_PIN_PB12));
+while(at91_get_gpio_value(AT91_PIN_PB12));

case SNDRV_PCM_TRIGGER_RESUME:
+while(!at91_get_gpio_value(AT91_PIN_PB12));
+while(at91_get_gpio_value(AT91_PIN_PB12));
