Hmm, I can't follow this state change.
Do you mean that:
- snd_pcm_drain() is performed for a playback stream
- while draining operation, the system goes to suspend
- the system resumes (but the application doesn't call resume yet)
- The stream is closed (without calling resume)
??

If so, it's rather an inconsistent PCM state in the core side, and can
be fixed by a simple call like below:

-- 8< --
--- a/sound/core/pcm_native.c
+++ b/sound/core/pcm_native.c
@@ -2700,6 +2700,7 @@ void snd_pcm_release_substream(struct snd_pcm_substream *substream)
 	if (substream->ref_count > 0)
 		return;
 
+	snd_pcm_resume(substream);
 	snd_pcm_drop(substream);
 	if (substream->hw_opened) {
 		if (substream->runtime->state != SNDRV_PCM_STATE_OPEN)
-- 8< --

This will be no-op for the PCM device without SNDRV_PCM_INFO_RESUME.

But, this may need more rework, too; admittedly it imposes the
unnecessary resume of the stream although it shall be stopped and
closed immediately after that.  We may have some optimization in
addition.
