[ALSA] Remove PCM xfer_align sw params

The xfer_align sw_params parameter has never been used in a sane manner, and no one understands what this does exactly. The current implementation looks also buggy because it allows write of shorter size than xfer_align. So, if you do partial writes, the write isn't actually aligned at all. Removing this parameter will make some pcm_lib_* code more readable (and less buggy). Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai <tiwai@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jaroslav Kysela <perex@perex.cz>
