At first, audio dma is typically cyclic. if no underflow and overflow
happens, it will always be running. underflow and overflow will
trigger the cyclic dma termination.

in case audio PCM data is interleaved and saved in dma buffer  as below:

left (2B)  right (2B)  left (2B)  right (2B)   left (2B)  right (2B)
left (2B)  right (2B)
left (2B)  right (2B)  left (2B)  right (2B)   left (2B)  right (2B)
left (2B)  right (2B)
left (2B)  right (2B)  left (2B)  right (2B)   left (2B)  right (2B)
left (2B)  right (2B)
left (2B)  right (2B)  left (2B)  right (2B)   left (2B)  right (2B)
left (2B)  right (2B)
,,,,

and some hardwares need two seperate dma channels to tranfer left and
right audio channel.

For 1st and 2nd dma channel, they want dma address increases 4bytes
and transfer 2bytes every line.
so it looks to me like a cyclic interleaved dma.

or am i missing anything?
