ALSA: intel8x0 - Fix PCM position craziness
The PCM pointer callback sometimes returns invalid positions and this
screws up the hw_ptr updater in PCM core. Especially since now the
jiffies check is optional with xrun_debug, the invalid position is
handled as is, and causes serious sound skips, etc.
This patch simplifies the position-fix strategy in intel8x0 to be more
robust:
- just falls back to the last position if bogus position is detected
- another sanity check for the backward move of the position due to
a race of register update and the base-index update
This patch is applicable also for 2.6.30.
