[alsa-devel] [PATCH 31/44] bebob/firewire-lib: Add a quirk for discontinuity at bus reset

This commit adds a flag, which has an effect to skip checking continuity
for first packet. This flag is useful for BeBoB quirk.

Normal BeBoB firmware has a quirk. When receiving bus reset, it transmit
packets with discontinuous value in dbc field.

This causes two situation, one is to abort streaming by firewire-lib as a
result of detecting the discontinuity. Another is to call driver's .update().
These two is generated separately. (The former depends on isochronous stream
and the latter depends on IEEE1394 bus driver.)

When BeBoB driver works with XRUN-recoverable applications, this situation
looks like stream_update_duplex() call following to stream_start_duplex() call
(because applications will call snd_pcm_prepare() immediately).

We shouldn't break connections in stream_update_duplex() or
stream_start_duplex() at bus reset because of this quirk. When breaking
connections, stream_start_duplex() re-establish them, streams immediately
have packets with discontinuity, then firewire-lib generates XRUN,
applications call snd_pcm_prepare() and stream_start_duplex() is called
again, breaking connections, re-establishing connections...(loop)

To avoid this situation, this commit allows BeBoB driver to start streams
during transmitting packets, without breaking connections. The flag is used
for this purpose.
