[alsa-devel] ICE1724 - File descriptor in bad state when capturing

[Pavel Hofman]

Hi,

I have most of the ESI Juli driver working, but I have hit a problem 
with the capture stream. I had to modify some ice1724.c code to allow 
redefining clock-related functions in the actual card file (Juli has a 
different clocking scheme), but all the DMA code is left intact, as well 
as the methods defining the capture stream.

The ice1724 vu-meters detect input ADC data, I can hear correct sound 
when setting the internal mixer to H/W-In. Yet, when trying to record, I get

arecord -v -D hw:0,0,0 -r 44100 -f S32_LE -c2

....
RIFF$WAVEfmt  ... data arecord: pcm_read:1346: read error: File 
descriptor in bad state

At the same time, my second Envy24-based card Prodigy192 (uses the 
original methods in ice1724.c) works OK, arecord gives no errors. 
Swapping the cards using the model parameter (to swap the 
/dev/snd/pcmCXDXc device file) makes no difference.

Thank you for any hints of where I should focus my attention to. I am 
not attaching the patches, as they are rather complicated. If you find 
that important, I will send the preliminary version.
