We can get audio errors if hitting deeper idle states on omaps:
[alsa.c:230] error: Fatal problem with alsa output, error -5. [audio.c:614] error: Error in writing audio (Input/output error?)!
This seems to happen with off mode idle enabled as power for the whole SoC may get cut off between filling the McBSP fifo using DMA. While active DMA blocks deeper idle states in hardware, McBSP activity does not seem to do so.
Basing the QoS latency on the FIFO size with the approximate delay required being 2.3 milliseconds per buffer location.
Note that this is different from snd_pcm_hw_constraint_step() as that can configure things based on the buffer and period size. However, that does not help to block idle between the fifo fills.
Note that in theory some omaps are capable of playing audio while hitting deeper idle states. If somebody needs that and gets it working, we can set the latency requirements accordingly.

Changes from v1:
- add calculations for latency per number of FIFO locations

int latency = mcbsp->pdata->buffer_size * 23;I think this is not correct. The McBSP FIFO time depends on the sample rate and on the number of channels the audio is using. With 8KHz mono you have 12 times more time per FIFO element compared to 48KHz stereo.
As it has been discussed with Tony we should calculate the QoS latency in hw_params:
Ok yeah missed that part of the thread but it makes sense. Just one question should the latency value be only based on the TX FIFO threshold? I assume capture and transmit have two different settings.
latency_ms = ((FIFOsize - FIFOthreshold) / channels) * 1000/sampling-rate
On OMAP3.McBSP2 for example (44.1KHz, stereo): FIFO threshold 128
- DMA request will be triggered when 128 slots are free in the FIFO
- at that point we have still 1152 words in the FIFO.
- if the C wakeup latency is longer then what it takes to play out the
samples from the FIFO (13.06ms), we will drain the FIFO and got underflow.
- in this case the QOS should be set as 13.06ms
FIFO threshold 1024
- DMA request will be triggered when 1024 slots are free in the FIFO
- at that point we have still 256 words in the FIFO.
- if the C wakeup latency is longer then what it takes to play out the
samples from the FIFO (2.9ms), we will drain the FIFO and got underflow.
- in this case the QOS should be 2.9ms
On other McBSPs with 128 word FIFO the required latency is shorter to ensure we don't drain the FIFO.
