Hi Takashi After adding your patch, I find another regression issue. The alsa-lib may stop at snd_pcm_write_areas() snd_pcm_wait_nocheck() with suspend and resume test. The reason is that: In the beginning of playback, before the snd_pcm_dmix_start() is called, the system enter suspend. After resume, snd_pcm_direct_resume() update the dmix->state, and dmix->state is 3 (RUNNING, because the dmix->spcm is in RUNNING from snd_pcm_dmix_open()). So in snd_pcm_write_areas() the state is RUNNING, then snd_pcm_start() will never be called, after a while, alsa-lib will stop at the snd_pcm_wait_nocheck() for the kernel will not wake up the timer.
