The only reason to not have an interrupt after each packet is to avoid the interrupt overhead (for both CPU and power); shorter URBs would result in a more precise DMA position reported to user space. If there is already an interrupt for some capture URB (or for the feedback packet in case of explicit feedback), we might as well handle the playback packets so far.
