The commit c02f77d32d2c ("ALSA: hda - Workaround for crackled sound on AMD controller (1022:1457)") introduced a few workarounds for the recent AMD HD-audio controller, and one of them is the forced BATCH PCM mode so that PulseAudio avoids the timer-based scheduling. This was thought to cover for some badly working applications, but this actually worsens for more others. In total, this wasn't a good idea to enforce it.
This is a partial revert of the commit above for dropping the PCM BATCH enforcement part to recover from the regression again.
