Hi Harish,

check_audio.out was a test app to test the old OSS driver ( which by my
guess is no longer maintained on that platform) or the *OSS emulation *mode
supported by ALSA on i.mx31. Please check the clocks as Mark suggested. In
most of the cases I tried using I.mx31, the app wouldn't exit in cases where


1. Clock to the PMIC was not supplied.
2. Clock to the SSI was not OK.
3. The AUDMUX ports are not correctly configured.
4. The PMIC chip's bias was not enabled .

The drivers seem to be loaded properly from your log. Do not look for
"pmic_audio"  under /dev coz it's only a hardware abstraction layer and is
not registered as a char dev.

Thanks,
Aditya
