Re: [alsa-devel] DMA buffer gets played only once

It seems like that after the 8th period is transferred pcm_trigger(TRIGGER_STOP) isn't getting called.

Indeed. The stop trigger is called when the entire stream is to be stopped.

When the start trigger has been called, the hardware (or the driver) is responsible for playing the ring buffer _repeatedly_. If the hardware doesn't do this automatically, the driver has to reprogram it.
