symptom | A consumer was stopped for 3000 ms against a 256 ms DMA ring. The hardware produced 96 000 bytes during the stall and 7 168 were recoverable afterwards, so 92.5% of the audio was destroyed inside the data path. I2S_EVENT_RX_Q_OVF reported 61 events, but roughly 86 DMA buffers had actually been overwritten. |
