Patch works perfectly.

Tested option:
- kernel compiled with and without CONFIG_SND_CS46XX_NEW_DSP=y
- play pcm stream, suspend, resume and pcm stream is playing
- play pcm stream, stop playing pcm stream, suspend, resume and play pcm stream

If you need log from resume from notebook, I'll send you this log.
