[alsa-devel] [PATCH 1/3] ALSA: snd-usb: restore delay information

[Daniel Mack]

Parts of commit 294c4fb8 ("ALSA: usb: refine delay information with USB
frame counter") were unfortunately lost during the refactoring of the
snd-usb driver in 3.5.

This patch adds them back, restoring the correct delay information
behaviour.
