alsa: disable period wakeups in tsched mode if possible

This patch reflects a new capability that Lennart was wishing
for. Wish granted...

Re-submitting it now that alsa-lib 1.0.24
provides additional entry points to disable period
wakeups in timer-scheduling mode if hardware can
work without it (HDAudio, oxygen and Intel SST).

    Example with standard playback on HDAudio output
    Before change:

    Top causes for wakeups:
       3.8% (  5.4)   [hda_intel] <interrupt>
       2.8% (  4.0)   alsa-sink

    After change:
    Top causes for wakeups:
       2.3% (  3.0)   alsa-sink
