Thanks !

So no pcm_start would be required.

A few more questions if I'm allowed:

* are there any devices that do support pcm_resume() ?
  (none of those I could test)

* is suspend/resume supposed to work with USB souncards ?
  (a quick test with an UA25EX leads to 100% CPU for both
  Jack and my test apps)
