Bug#904428: linux-image-4.17.0-1-amd64: sound pops/clicks with snd_hda_intel unless power saving is disabled

Dear Maintainer,

After upgrading from linux-image-4.16.0-2-amd64 to
linux-image-4.17.0-1-amd64, my computer's sound card exhibits an
audible and annoying pop or click when an audio stream is about to
play or stop playing. The pop/click was not present with earlier
kernels.

Turning off power saving with

 options snd_hda_intel power_save=0 power_save_controller=N

as per Redhat bug 1525104 [1] works around the problem (no pop/click).
