[PATCH 6/6] ALSA: fireface: perform sequence replay for media clock recovery

[Takashi Sakamoto]

This commit takes ALSA fireface driver to perform sequence replay for
media clock recovery.

The protocol specific to RME Fireface series is not compliant to
IEC 61883-1/6 since it has no CIP header, therefore presentation time
is not used for media clock recovery. The sequence of the number of data
blocks per packet is important.

I note that the device skips an isochronous cycle corresponding to an
empty packet or a NODATA packet in blocking transmission method of
IEC 61883-1/6. For sequence replay, the cycle is handled as receiving an
empty packet. Furthermore, it doesn't start packet transmission till
receiving any packet.

The sequence replay is tested with below models:

* Fireface 400
* Fireface 800
* Fireface 802

I note that it is better to initialize Fireface 400 in advance by
initialization transaction implemented in snd-fireface-ctl-service of
snd-firewire-ctl-services project. You can see whether initialized or
not by HOST LED on the device. Unless, the device often stops packet
transmission even if session starts.

I guess the sequence replay also works well with below models:

* Fireface UFX
* Fireface UCX
