# The NuForce uDAC (Savitech chip) has flaky firmware: when PipeWire
# idles and then resumes its ALSA node, the device often fails the
# resulting SET_INTERFACE / sample-rate renegotiation with a USB stall
# (spa.alsa: set_hw_params: Broken pipe). Enough of these in a row make
# the device drop off the USB bus and require a physical replug.
#
# Keeping the node's hardware stream open (no idle-suspend) avoids the
# repeated renegotiation and stops the crashes.
