Without the above annotations: C7-M/CX700 uptime while running 
pulse-audio: 1 1/2 hrs.

With the above annotations: C7-M/CX700 uptime, same test setup,
maximum unknown, test terminated after 3 hours.

On the C7-M/CN896 - maximum unknown, test terminated after 12 hrs.

Sample build to be available tomorrow.
