Hi Mark,

Indeed we use dmix. But now we can't open the same device twice.
Our alsa lib and utils version is 1.0.18.
The test command: aplay 1.wav &; aplay 1.wav
In 2.6.34, strace
open("/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p", O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) =3D 4
open("/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p", O_RDWR|O_APPEND|O_NONBLOCK) =3D 4

In 3.0, strace
open("/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p", O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) =3D 4
open("/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p", O_RDWR|O_NONBLOCK) =3D -1 EBUSY (Device or
resource busy)

The O_APPEND flag missed in new kernel. But we use the same lib and
utils. It's strange.
And I found the prefer subdevice changes from 0 to -1. These two
changes cause kernel return device busy.

Mark, can you do this simple test on your board? I appreciate your
help. Thank you very much.

Regards,
Scott
