[alsa-devel] [PATCH v4 02/10] ALSA: core: allow for trigger_tstamp snapshot in .trigger

[Pierre-Louis Bossart]

Don't use generic snapshot of trigger_tstamp if low-level driver or
hardware can get a more precise value for better audio/system time
synchronization.

Also add definitions for delayed updates if actual trigger tstamp
can be only be provided after a delay due to hardware constraints.
