[PATCH] ALSA: usb: Add Plantronics C320-M USB ctrl msg delay quirk

From: John Ernberg
Date: Wed Mar 03 2021 - 14:09:31 EST


The microphone in the Plantronics C320-M headset will randomly
fail to initialize properly, at least when using Microsoft Teams.
Introducing a 20ms delay on the control messages appears to
resolve the issue.

Note: Microsoft Teams is the only application tests have been performed with
and no other kinds of investigations have been performed, like USB packet logging.
Originally reported as a possible PulseAudio issue, where it was suggested to
try a delay quirk in the kernel.
If other tests should be performed, please let me know which tests and I will try to do them.

All testing was done on 5.10, patch was then applied on sound.git master for submission

I did not register to the mailing lists, please keep me CC on any comments. Thanks!
