Agreed. There are some uglies...

Okay. I thought I was being stupid. :-)

Actually, I think I *may* have found the problem, in update ptr, it
should look like this: going to test in a moment

/* error handling and process wake up for DAC */
if (dmabuf->enable == DAC_RUNNING) {
/* update hardware pointer */
hwptr = i810_get_dma_addr(state, 0);
diff = hwptr - dmabuf->hwptr;
if (hwptr < dmabuf->hwptr)
diff += dmabuf->dmasize;
#if defined(DEBUG_INTERRUPTS) || defined(DEBUG_MMAP)
printk("DAC HWP %d,%d,%d\n", hwptr, dmabuf->hwptr, diff);
#endif

reason: hwptr hits 65536 which is indistinguishable from 0 in mod arithmetic

also, I ran your other DEBUG_MMAP patch and the news is that count just
sits at 65536 ad nauseum.
