Please don't start a new thread for each mail, please continue
discussion in the existing thread.  It makes it much easier to follow
which problem you are talking about.

If the initial hardware state happens to result in LRCLK being where the
lrsync() function is trying to get it then the driver will start up, but
the misclocking of the configuration will result in ALSA detecting an
error which will eventually result in a restart of the audio stream.

You've probably got a problem with the machine driver for your system,
check the way the clocks are set up in there.
