ALSA: introduce the snd-aloop module for the PCM loopback 



The snd-aloop module allows redirecting of the PCM playback in the
kernel back to the user space using the standard ALSA PCM capture API.

The module also allows time synchronization with another timing source
and notifications of playback stream parameter changes.

	  This module returns played samples back to the user space using

	  the standard ALSA PCM device. The devices are routed 0->1 and

          1->0, where first number is the playback PCM device and second

	  number is the capture device. Module creates two PCM devices and

	  configured number of substreams (see the pcm_substreams module

          parameter).



	  The looback device allow time sychronization with an external

	  timing source using the time shift universal control (+-20%

	  of system time).
