[alsa-devel] [PATCH v2 1/2] ASoC: core: Add flag to ignore pmdown_time at pcm_close

[Nallasellan, Singaravelan]

Agree. System integrator may not like to delay closing modem ports for 6 seconds either. Need to close the ports immediately or delay. 
Do you suggest that we shouldn't delay in the driver and introduce delay in the user pace?
I prefer to remove the delay altogether from the driver. Do you see any issue which might cause glitches?

You can't decide this on the basis of the DAI, though - the system integrator may have thought of another use for the DAI.
