Hi,

I had slightly changed the file user/play/tone.c to close the DAC after sometime. We hear the tone sound  but I observe a hang on the call close(ofd).

I have attached the modified tone.c file for your reference.

We had made the necessary changes in make menuconfig to enable /dev/dsp.

Also, the same modified tone application works fine in 2009R1pre SVN trunk kernel.

Kindly let me know why the hang happens in this kernel version.

TIA.

tone.c

I noticed the only difference you made is you playback, then close it normally after some time

for (count=0;count<10000;count++)

We used the for (;;)  to play until the application gets a signal to stop.

There should be something wrong if you really hang only because of the normal close() call, we need to fix it.

"We had made the necessary changes in make menuconfig to enable /dev/dsp.

What source code version will you hang? We hope to repeat it if you can give a clear description.
