Hi Takashi,
When doing multi-channel playback tests on IbexPeak, I found that the following patch makes the playback enter an infinite loop, repeatedly playing a range of ~0.5s audio content. (Seems that some buffer pointer can never advance.)
Could you set 1 to /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/xrun_debug and give the messages? Also, please show /proc/.../pcm0p/sub0/hw_params, too.
The change affects only the code path for the problematic hardware that reports wrong DMA position. So, if this change regresses, it means that the device has been already problematic from the beginning...
I caught some messages:
Is this with the patched (as is on sound git tree) kernel? What if changing from #if 1 to #if 0?
thanks,
Takashi

ALSA: pcm - Fix regressions with VMware VMware tends to report PCM positions and period updates at utterly wrong timing. This screws up the recent PCM core code that tries to correct the position based on the irq timing. Now, when a backward irq position is detected, skip the update instead of rebasing. (This is almost the old behavior before 2.6.30.)
