Hi

Before going into workaround, did you try to change function
omap_get_dma_src_pos to read CSSA_L instead of CPC in
arch/arm/plat-omap/dma.c that I was speculating in mail below?

http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2009-June/018569.html

While CPC seems to be correct [1], you mentioned before that patch below
broke the older ALSA driver so it's worth to find out if the problem
can be corrected by simple one line fix (or two if omap_get_dma_dst_pos
need to be fixed as well).
