wholteza 0ff35915ed Fix NuForce uDAC USB disconnects
Cheap Savitech chip firmware stalls on rapid SET_INTERFACE / sample-rate
renegotiation, eventually dropping off the USB bus and requiring a
physical replug. Two fixes, both scoped to this exact device only:

- snd_usb_audio quirk_flags (262a:10aa): fixed_rate + ctl_msg_delay +
  iface_delay, applied via /etc/modprobe.d during bootstrap.
- WirePlumber: disable idle-suspend for the device's ALSA node so
  PipeWire doesn't repeatedly reopen the stream during normal use.

# 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.
