Currently ALSA core blocks userspace for about 10 seconds for PCM R/W IO. This needs to be configurable for modern hardware like DSPs where no pointer update in milliseconds can indicate terminal DSP errors.
Add a substream variable to set the wait time in ms. This allows userspace and drivers to recover more quickly from terminal DSP errors.

Changes since V1 :-
o Remove API method and alow drivers to set directly. o Validate time is driver supplied times.

This seems to be msec, but...
if (runtime->rate) { long t = runtime->period_size * 2 / runtime->rate; wait_time = max(t, wait_time);
... here handled as a second.
}
wait_time = msecs_to_jiffies(wait_time * 1000);
wait_time = msecs_to_jiffies(wait_time);
... so this looks inconsistent.
Also, watch out the complaints from checkpatch.pl.
thanks,
