ALSA: firewire-digi00x: use the same size of period for PCM substream in AMDTP streams
In current implementation, when opening a PCM substream, it's needed to check whether the opposite PCM substream runs. This is to assign effectual constraints (e.g. sampling rate) to opened PCM substream. The number of PCM substreams and MIDI substreams on AMDTP streams in domain is recorded in own structure. Usage of this count is an alternative of the above check. This is better because the count is incremented in pcm.hw_params earlier than pcm.trigger. This idea has one issue because it's incremented for MIDI substreams as well. In current implementation, for a case that any MIDI substream run and a PCM substream is going to start, PCM application to start the PCM substream can decide hardware parameters by restart packet streaming. Just checking the substream count can brings regression. Now AMDTP domain structure has a member for the size of PCM period in PCM substream which starts AMDTP streams in domain. When the value has zero and the substream count is greater than 1, it means that any MIDI substream starts AMDTP streams in domain. Usage of the value can resolve the above issue. This commit replaces the check with the substream count and the value for the size of PCM period. I note that DOT AMDTP protocol has a quirk to use different transmission method of IEC 61883-6 for tx/rx streams; non-blocking in tx stream and blocking in rx stream. Although the difference of transmission method between tx/rx streams precisely brings different timing for a certain amount of events due to their different calculation for data blocks per packet, it's possible to approximate enough amount of events mostly has the same timing. Actually current ALSA IEC 61883-1/6 engine uses large amount of data blocks for each hardware IRQ (=16 packets).
