Subject: ALSA: hda - Add workaround for CMI8888 snoop behavior
From: Takashi Iwai <[email protected]>
commit 3b70bdba2fcb374a2235a56ab73334348d819579 upstream.
CMI8888 shows the stuttering playback when the snooping is disabled
on the audio buffer. Meanwhile, we've got reports that CORB/RIRB
doesn't work in the snooped mode. So, as a compromise, disable the
snoop only for CORB/RIRB and enable the snoop for the stream buffers.
The resultant patch became a bit ugly, unfortunately, but we still can
live with it.
