[PATCH 4/9] ALSA: usb-audio: Disable low-latency playback for free-wheel mode

[Takashi Iwai]

The free-wheel stream operation like dmix may not update the appl_ptr
appropriately, and it doesn't fit with the low-latency playback mode.
Disable the low-latency playback operation when the stream is set up
in such a mode.
