ALSA: Enable PCM hw_ptr_jiffies check only in xrun_debug mode
The PCM hw_ptr jiffies check results sometimes in problems when a hardware doesn't give smooth hw_ptr updates. So far, au88x0 and some other drivers appear not working due to this strict check. However, this check is a nice debug tool, and the capability should be still kept. Hence, we disable this check now as default unless the user enables it by setting the xrun_debug mode to the specific stream via a proc file. Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de>
