[PATCH] alsa-lib: update linked hw_ptr and appl_ptr

[sutar.mounesh@gmail.com]

From: Andreas Pape <apape@de.adit-jv.com>

Plugin file provides no private hw_ptr and appl_ptr but instead links them to the slave pcm.
If the slave pcm itself changes its hw_ptr or app_prt this needs to be done in file plugin, too.
Plugin 'plug' is such a candidate changing the hw_ptr and app_ptr in hw_params call dependent on the automatically inserted plugins.
ALSA unfortunately has no support for automatically updating chained pointers.
A notification on pointer change seems to be prepared inside the snd_pcm_set_ptr() routine via
rbptr->changed(), but it is not (yet) implemented so that we need to care for it manually.
