Ok, I`ll try to be a bit more verbose. Without the hardware reinitialization added,
the first use of this card anytime after a suspend / resume cycle will start with
distortions.

ACK.

This is pretty old hardware, the Digi96 series was introduced to the market in October 1998.
There is no support for any power management, and the Digi96 cards do not act as bus master.
No, the hardware will definitely not enter PCI D3 state.
