I've narrowed it down to the commit ed3da3d9a0ef13c6fe1414ec73c9c1be12747b62 in linux-next/sound-2.6-tiwai.git. ALSA: Rewrite hw_ptr updaters
The audio works fine, when I reverse this commit.
Could you build with CONFIG_SND_DEBUG_XRUN and set below? echo 1 > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/xrun_debug
It will show you why the playback skips. It means usually the pointer callback is unstable. The commit changed the xrun check more strictly.
