OK - so it's the same DMA I am familiar with, it just needs to be
reprogrammed every period - IOW you can't tell it "repeatedly transfer
audio to this location until I tell you to stop".
If this is the case then I would say forget about the kernel thread and
the copy/silence callbacks - just do all the work in the interrupt
handler.
