Ok, thanks.
We do seem to be having problems in the DSP load prepare function:

void *(*load_dsp_prepare)(struct hda_codec *codec, unsigned int format,
                          unsigned int byte_size);

This is the place where the buffer gets allocated, and BDL and DMA set up, and the
pointer returned.
Is there any sample code or other info you could provide, to give us a better idea
of how the function and these actions should be implemented?

Thanks very much,
- Ian
