[alsa-devel] [PATCH] ALSA: hdsp - poll for iobox

[Tim Blechmann]

sleeping for 2 seconds before checking for the iobox is not enough
on some systems.
this patch increases the timeout, but polls the card during that
time. it thus speeds up the module loading when the card has already
been initialized, while being more robust on systems, which require
a higher timeout than the predefined 2 seconds.
