With echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpuidle/state{1-6}/disable
jitter is about 100us which is about 3x worse than with CONFIG_PM
disabled (and much better when idling), but decoder works with
occassional errors.
Anyway, it would be nice to find out why USB does not work with CONFIG_PM
disabled :)
