I'm testing the 3.14.19 kernel for i.MX28 EVK, which has an SGTL5000
CODEC. I've also tested on the 3.18-rc4 kernel and confirmed this issue still occurs.
Are you using it in master or slave mode?

Playback
When doing audio playback, I notice that the audio "fades in" over the
first (approximately) 500 ms of playback. This is very noticeable and not ideal in certain applications (e.g. audio notifications that are of short duration).
However, if audio playback starts while audio recording is already
in-progress, then there is no fade-in; instead there is a loud pop. I assume the fade-in is there to mask the pop. The pop is very unpleasant through headphones. (However, if I do audio playback a _second_ time while audio recording is still in-progress, then there is no loud pop the second time.)
I didn't think either the pop or the fade-in occurred on the 2.6.35
kernel. How feasible is it to improve the driver to avoid or reduce the pop, and remove the necessity for a fade-in?
Record
When recording, I notice there is a low-frequency ramping offset at the
start of a recording (after the 400-500 ms of previous audio) of approx 600-700 ms duration. This also reduces the audio quality at the start of the recording. It could reduce the quality of captured audio depending on the application usage. I am getting distortion (clipping I assume) of my audio input during this time. It could cause a pop on playback (local playback or e.g. VoIP transmission to a remote device). It could reduce the audio quality through an audio CODEC.
How feasible is it to improve the driver to avoid a ramping offset at the
start of recording?
