works, and improve it.

Legend: - each box is a FSM state
- each arrow is the condition to transition to another state
- an arrow with a comment is a mandatory transition (no condition)
- arrow "Q" means : a buffer was enqueued
- arrow "DQ" means : a buffer was dequeued
- "QCI: stop" means the QCI interface is not enabled
- "DMA: stop" means all 3 DMA channels are stopped
- "DMA: run" means at least 1 DMA channel is still running
