Seem very fast operation indeed, so a very small delay seems logical. I believe
this is similar to what other drivers uses, so sounds good to me. 

**If** we decide to go lower or drop the delay, then I'd like see someones
benchmark that show that doing suspend during playback does improve power
efficiently without reducing throughput.
