[alsa-devel] Rewrite of hw_ptr updaters makes things worse?

[Chuck Ebbert]

After adding these patches from 2.6.30 to a 2.6.29 kernel, pulseaudio problems
are worse:

ALSA: pcm - Reset invalid position even without debug option
ALSA: pcm - Fix delta calculation at boundary overlap
ALSA: pcm - Safer boundary checks
ALSA: Rewrite hw_ptr updaters
