[alsa-devel] DMA buffer gets played only once

Yeah I have to take care of this but right now my buffersize is 32768 
bytes and the period size is 4096 bytes which should work I think.

Yeah that's right. I guess this is my case because xrun() is getting 
called somewhere. So how can I fix this underrun problem?

That's not my case. pcm_pointer gets called after the first DMA 
transaction is finished. (DMA transfer finished callback gets called 
before pcm_pointer) Also the values which are returned by pcm_pointer 
look quite reasonable. (see also my very first posting in this thread, 
look for the printk's "pcm_pointer returns <value>")


Thanks for your effort,
