The 'out_cb' method has a 4k byte array used for copying data between the audio backend and device. Skip the automatic zero-init of this array to eliminate the performance overhead in the I/O hot path.
The 'tmpbuf' array will be fully initialized when reading data from device memory. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
