From 79452f0a28aa5a40522c487b42a5fc423647ad98 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Takashi Iwai Date: Wed, 22 Jul 2009 12:51:51 +0200 Subject: ALSA: pcm - Fix regressions with VMware VMware tends to report PCM positions and period updates at utterly wrong timing. This screws up the recent PCM core code that tries to correct the position based on the irq timing. Now, when a backward irq position is detected, skip the update instead of rebasing. (This is almost the old behavior before 2.6.30.)
