Underrun in alsa audio (wake_up() is not working in linux-2.6.25)

Submitted by chethangm

Issue:

If I play the wav file using "aplay", underrun error occurs.

I am suspecting the issue in driver or in kernel code.

I am using the following setup:

a) Application and Library:
aplay in alsa-utils-1.0.16 and alsa-lib-1.0.16.
b) Platform: imx27
c) kernel: linux-2.6.25

Hardware & Software parameters for aplay:

Ahoy there!

HI

I want know can I give priority between serial ports, in case if three serial ports receive data at same interval (1 second) with different lengths of data say 64 bytes (512 bits), 16 bytes (128 bits) and 4 bytes (32 bits).
Is it required to give priority considering data is supposed to be received at same interval? Please enlighten me...

Hi,

I would like to know if "Command could be aborted by ahci driver just after filling the command FIS (H2D command FIS is filled using ahci_qc_prep), how this could be reported back to upper layers gracefully".

Will highly appreciate any clue or suggestion on this.

I noticed that a little test program which calls nanosleep is showing a huge difference in CPU usage when run on Linux machines with a kernel newer than 2.6.22.

#include
int main (void)
{
struct timespec sleepTime;
struct timespec returnTime;
sleepTime.tv_sec = 0;
sleepTime.tv_nsec = 1000;
while (1)
{
nanosleep(&sleepTime, &returnTime);
}

Hello,

We have the following question regarding the (re-)allocation of dma-able memory for a PCIe device. We want to know on which CPU / Memory controller the dma-able memory will be allocated. In addition we would like to know how we can control this allocation process, or how to reroute it to another CPU / Memory controller.
