Hi Clemens...

I had sent you the source file having pcm callbacks yesterday, now I
have modified the pointer function as follows, I am just giving the
pointer function here to avoid duplication, but please let me know in
case you want to have look at the entire file.


static snd_pcm_uframes_t snd_omap_alsa_pointer(snd_pcm_substream_t *substream)
{

        struct omap_eac *chip = snd_pcm_substream_chip(substream);
        snd_pcm_uframes_t pos = 0;

        FN_ENTER;
        pos = audio_get_dma_pos(&chip->s[substream->pstr->stream]);
        printk("Returning pos = %d\n", pos);
        return pos;
        FN_EXIT;
}

static snd_pcm_uframes_t audio_get_dma_pos(struct audio_stream *s)
{
        snd_pcm_substream_t *substream = s->stream;
        snd_pcm_runtime_t *runtime = substream->runtime;
        unsigned long flags;
        dma_addr_t count;
        unsigned long offset;
        dma_addr_t src,dest;

         if (substream->stream == SNDRV_PCM_STREAM_CAPTURE) {
                dest = omap_get_dma_dst_pos(s->lch[s->dma_q_head]);
                offset = dest - runtime->dma_addr;
                printk("dest is %u and offset is %u\n",dest,offset);
         } else {
                src = omap_get_dma_src_pos(s->lch[s->dma_q_head]);
                offset = src - runtime->dma_addr;
                printk("src is %u and offset is %u\n",dest,offset);
         }

        return bytes_to_frames(substream->runtime, offset);
}


And the log is as follows.

For the first time.


snd_omap_alsa_pointer start
src is 3246792928 and offset is 3304194048
Returning pos = 20742144
Inside snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr_pos, pos is 20742144
ALSA sound/core/pcm_lib.c:167: BUG: stream = 0, pos = 0x13c8000,
buffer size = 0x4000, period size = 0x800
returning pos 20742144

I can see things are horribaly wrong here....
