Apologie for being ambiguous...

1. When I posted the question, I was not even getting the DMA
interrupts. The input/output error was present.

2. After modifying the code a little I started getting the DMA
interrupts, but the input/output error still persists. So I am
doubting I might have messed up with the
period size etc.

3. I am assigning s->periods = runtime->period i.e. without converting
them in bytes, in prepare (I have seen some standard omap drivers
doing the same, so I am not converting it to bytes, frames should be
okay, but I will check this in h/w manual) and I take care in trigger
too by updating the s->periods field.

4. Also, s->period is locked appropriately so dont think it is corrupted.

I am attaching the source file, I have attached only 1 file since I
think it is relevant. Will send the log once I get chance to test it
again.
