This issue also happened on MTL-NOCODEC when testing signal-stop-start.

... since @fredoh9 just fixed signal-stop-start's "green failure" in

• check-signal-stop-start.sh: report failure when process terminated early sof-test#1000

[keqiaozhang]

This issue also can be reproduced with signal stop/start on MTL platforms. Changing the priority to P1.
