[PATCH] alsa: remove existing hardware config before setting a new one

In Linux 5.11, a behavior change for USB audio devices was introduced[0]
that prevents changing parameters such as sample rate or period
size once they are initially set without a snd_pcm_hw_free in
between. This causes sndio to get forced to 48000 Hz and and a
period size of 4800, since those are the parameters set during
sio_open.

To fix this, call snd_pcm_hw_free at the start of sio_alsa_setpar_hw
to remove any previous configuration before setting a new one.
