[alsa-devel] [PATCH 2/3] Improve non-busmaster adapter operation.

[linux at audioscience.com]

From: Eliot Blennerhassett <eblennerhassett at audioscience.com>

Make playback silence callback a no-op, card automatically outputs
silence when written data runs out.
Increasing update interval and thus minimum period avoids xrun on startup
or because of timer jitter.
