Hi,

to say the truth I never saw problems on the S3c2440 custom board @
400Mhz I worked with initially:

CPU S3C2440A (id 0x32440001)
S3C244X: core 399.651 MHz, memory 133.217 MHz, peripheral 66.608 MHz

Right now I cannot do much complete audio testing with it (the audio
part after the codec is crippled) but I can test if dma starts and if
audio playing last the right number of seconds. My initial patch was
against 2.6.27 so without the limitation on the maximum period
initially loading but I remembered that there were only 2 buffers
loaded because the lower level dma enqueue function returned error
after that. I never saw problems with aplay and madplay.

I will try to do some changes in that code but my worry is how to know
how many periods are filled with data for sure by the upper ALSA
layers (I'm not an expert in ASLA as you can see).
