I tried to resume driver without SNDRV_PCM_INFO_RESUME, and alsa-lib
called only ops->prepare(). It makes sense for a typical hw, but we have
"clean" unconfigured device on resume. And we must set hw parameters as
a first step. It means, that code should be more or less the same. And
maybe it's better to set SNDRV_PCM_INFO_RESUME, since it allows us to
resume substream in any situation (regardless of application behavior).
I can refactor code to only send requests from trigger(RESUME) path and
not to call ops itself. It should make code more straitforward. What do
you say?
