For gapless playback call to snd_compr_drain_notify() after partial drain should put the state to SNDRV_PCM_STATE_RUNNING rather than SNDRV_PCM_STATE_SETUP as the driver is ready to process the buffers for new track. With existing code, if we are playing 3 tracks in gapless, after partial drain finished on previous track 1 the state is set to SNDRV_PCM_STATE_SETUP which is then moved to SNDRV_PCM_STATE_PREPARED after data write. With this state calls to snd_compr_next_track() and few other calls will fail as they expect the state to be in SNDRV_PCM_STATE_RUNNING. Here is the sequence of events and state transitions: 1. set_params (Track 1), state = SNDRV_PCM_STATE_SETUP 2. set_metadata (Track 1), no state change, state = SNDRV_PCM_STATE_SETUP 3. fill and trigger start (Track 1), state = SNDRV_PCM_STATE_RUNNING 4. set_next_track (Track 2), state = SNDRV_PCM_STATE_RUNNING 5. partial_drain (Track 1), state = SNDRV_PCM_STATE_SETUP 6 snd_compr_drain_notify (Track 1), state = SNDRV_PCM_STATE_SETUP 7. fill data (Track 2), state = SNDRV_PCM_STATE_PREPARED 8. set_metadata (Track 3), no state change, state = SNDRV_PCM_STATE_PREPARED 9. set_next_track (Track 3), !!
