Subject: ALSA: vx: Don't try to update capture stream before running

From: Takashi Iwai <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit ed3c177d960bb5881b945ca6f784868126bb90db ]

The update of stream costs significantly, and we should avoid it unless the stream really has started. Check pipe->running flag instead of pipe->prepared.
