Sorry, I was carried away with other things...
I did some testing with and without the dma prefetch for audio (on BeagleBoard
with mplayer: -ao alsa/pulse).
When we have prefetch enabled we tend to resume after pause from a slightly
off place than when the prefetch is disabled.
I also remember that in n9 we have had some issue with the DMA prefetch.
So I would for sure enable the prefetch for non cyclic DMA.
For the cyclic I would not enable it for now. I need to dig a bit deeper in
DMA/McBSP to have better view on the issue.
I have one comment to the patch itself as well.
