[alsa-devel] Is there a function I can call from my ISR to tell ALSA to abort playback?

It doesn't seem to do much.  Here's the function I wrote:

static void fsl_dma_abort_stream(struct snd_pcm_substream *substream)
{
	unsigned long flags;

	snd_pcm_stream_lock_irqsave(substream, flags);
	if (snd_pcm_running(substream)) {
		snd_pcm_stop(substream, SNDRV_PCM_STATE_DRAINING);
		wake_up(&substream->runtime->sleep);
	}
	snd_pcm_stream_unlock_irqrestore(substream, flags);
}

When I play a file, my DMA controller is incorrectly programmed (test case) and 
this function gets triggered.  The application (aplay) does not terminate.

I tried it with the wake_up() call, but it didn't make a difference.
