No issues.

I think it better to implement what you want in any .prepare callbacks, 
instead of the .be_hw_params_fixup callback, because in this case, PCM 
substream lapses into XRUN state in call graph from your hw IRQ handler. 
Typical applications recover from this state by calling ioctl(PREPARE), 
without any call of ioctl(HW_PARAMS).

Actually, you can see applications call ioctl(PREPARE), before you see 
call of 'struct snd_pcm_ops.trigger(START)'.
