This is just going to be a knock on effect of the hw_params failing, I
expect...

...for which I'd suggest drilling down into the function to see which
operation fails.  Looking at the code I'd expect it's getting upset
because it's being called with an invalid rate (OSS emulation calls
hw_params with partially initialised parameters) but you're not seeing
the log message that ought to be printed when that happens.  Some trace
showing what causes it to return an error ought to point out the
culprit.  The usual way to fix these is to ignore any errors in the
function which isn't ideal but is needed with the way OSS emulation
works.

I won't have access to my sam9g20 board until next week to look at this
myself.
