There is a small window between the hw_params() callback and when runtime->frame_bits is set by ALSA middle layer. When another substream is already running, if an interrupt is delivered during that window the irq handler calls pcm_pointer() which does a division by zero. The patch below makes the irq handler skip substreams that are initialized but not started yet. Cc to Clemens Ladisch because he proposed an alternate fix.

For more information, please read the original thread in the linux-kernel mailing list: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/2/2/187

Applied now. Thanks.
