I'd clearly like to see numbers before we proceed.

Not sure where this comes from, I'm not aware of drivers doing that with M2M
instances. Only

Appart from the 5s being too long, that is expected. If it fails after that,
this is a bug, we we should hold on merging this until the problem has been
resolved.

Imagine that userspace is going gapless playback, if you have a lets say 30ms on
forced suspend cycle due to close/open of the decoder instance, it won't
actually endup gapless. The delay will ensure that we only suspend when needed.

There is other changes I have asked in this series, since we always have the
case where userspace just pause on streaming, and we want that prolonged paused
lead to suspend. Hopefully this has been strongly tested and is not just added
for "completeness".

Its important to note that has a reviewer only, my time is limited, and I
completely rely on the author judgment of delay tuning and actual testing.
