Hi Peter,
Thanks for the help.
I don't believe it's possible for me to try the master/slave switch. Please take a look at http://www.efn.org/~rick/pub/wm8731.jpg Note that DACLRC and ADCLRC are connected. This requires me to run as slave, right? Our bit clock line is buffered so I don't think that will be a problem.

Yes, I had tried 8 before and just tried it now. Same result. It really seems like there is a DMA issue. Can you think of anything else to try before I dive into the DMA code?
Ok, that wasn't the reason.
Have you tried to reverse roles of codec and omap? I.e. by using the codec as a master and omap as a slave with SND_SOC_DAIFMT_CBM_CFM.
I don't think there is any HW reason as you have seen the bit-clock and frame sync signals toggling but I remember one case few years back where codec had slight too high capacitive load on the bit-clock line. That was then causing unstable frame sync as it was internally derived directly from the bit-clock pin without any buffer. Bit-clock signal looked just fine on oscilloscope but wasn't well enough for internal circuits of the cpu.
So if assuming similar problem here, I could imagine that if the FSX is used similar way directly inside the omap and if signal is not well enough, the McBSP and DMA may not be running.
This migh be a bit far reason to look for but at least easy to try by switching the roles as then the codec is driving the both bit-clock and fs.
