[PATCH v2 1/2] ALSA: usb-audio: more tolerant packetsize

[Jiada Wang]

From: Andreas Pape <apape@de.adit-jv.com>

since commit 57e6dae1087b ("ALSA: usb-audio: do not trust too-big
wMaxPacketSize values"), the expected packetsize is always limited
to nominal + 25%. It was discovered, that some devices have a much
higher jitter in used packetsizes than 25% which would result in BABBLE
condition and dropping of packets.
A better solution is so assume the jitter to be the nominal packetsize:
-one nearly empty packet followed by a almost 150% sized one.

V2: changed to assume max frequency is +50 of nominal packetsize.

[PATCH 2/2] ALSA: usb-audio: avoid setting of sample rate multiple times on bus

[Jiada Wang]

From: Daniel Girnus <dgirnus@de.adit-jv.com>

Some of userland applications call 'snd_pcm_hw_params()' and
'snd_pcm_hw_prepare()' sequentially, which means 'snd_pcm_hw_prepare()'
is called twice and the second 'snd_pcm_hw_prepare()' is called in
'SNDRV_PCM_STATE_PREPARED' state.

Some devices are not able to manage this and they will stop playback
if the sample rate will be configured several times over USB protocol.

Clemens, are you OK with this change?

Applied both patches, thanks.
