I'm sorry for the CC, did "reply" instead of "reply-to-all". I've modified
an existing driver, and the two driver modules load fine when insmod'ing
them. However, when I run speaker-test I get the following message.
-bash-3.2# ./../../../../../../../tools/alsa-arm-utils/bin/speaker-test
speaker-test 1.0.17
Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)
Buffer size range from 128 to 32768
Period size range from 64 to 1024
Using max buffer size 32768
Periods = 4
was set period_size = 1024
was set buffer_size = 32768
 0 - Front Left
Write error: -5,Input/output error
xrun_recovery failed: -5,Input/output error
Transfer failed: Operation not permitted
I checked the speaker-test code, and this happens after a call to
snd_pcm_writei(). The error code is -5, which corresponds to -EIO. In the
snd_pcm_writei() definition, the following code fails.

        if (CHECK_SANITY(! pcm->setup)) {
                SNDMSG("PCM not set up");
                return -EIO;
        }
However, in the init function of the codec driver
(linux/sound/soc/codecs/ak4555.c), I do

       ret = snd_soc_new_pcms(socdev, SNDRV_DEFAULT_IDX1,
SNDRV_DEFAULT_STR1);
        if (ret < 0) {
                pr_err("uda1380: failed to create pcms\n");
                goto pcm_err;
        }
and every time ret >= 0.

What could be wrong?

Thank you,
Yoran
