What kernel are you using?

So either playback, or capture, but never both at the same time?

So you have both playback and capture opened, if you pause the playback, and 
release it, then the capture path stops working?
Or you mean that doing the pause/release with playback, then closing it, after 
that the capture is not working?

Everything is possible. I have not heard such about such a problem myself.
If this issue exist on OMAP4, it should be present on OMAP3 as well...

Could you be more specific on the scenario?
What codec you have attached to McBSP2 port?
Are you using ABE, or are you using the McBSP2 port directly?

CC-ing Jarkko to catch his attention...
