[alsa-devel] Stale data interleaved in capture driver

[Rob Nertney]

My DMA is configured with a debug mode in which it sends an a simple
increasing counter value in the format I wish to receive: an IRQ every
32Bytes (half-frame). it transfers 32KBytes of data, and then restarts from
it's original offset. This is tested in bare-metal mode as working.

I wrote my handler as described in the high-frequency interrupts described
here:
http://www.alsa-project.org/~tiwai/writing-an-alsa-driver/ch05s07.html

My data is valid until 1/4 buffer full, then it interleaves stale (lower
numbers) in, replacing the desired numbers. It's sporadic, and it appears
to repeat, as if ALSA never returns to the 0-offset of dma_area.  I've
dumped a snip below. If the formatting is lost, I can post a google drive
or an image somewhere.

Thanks,
Rob
