Comment 51 for bug 87652

thh, your patch works for me on git HEAD (1a1b285c24e1468afe82b09330dde5192a6e0013). Thanks so much for fixing this! Would you mind telling me how the dmasound_awacs.c fix came to your attention? I was completely stuck when I tried looking into this earlier, maybe I'll learn something :-)

I'm also wondering whether this counts as a fix or a workaround. It's somewhat weird that we're now seeing the same problem in the ALSA driver as OSS used to have--but for years these DEAD DMA transfers never showed up in ALSA.
