As I mentioned in the previous followup, if your device is a USB-audio, the patch doesn't help because it's for devices with buffers using dma_alloc_coherent(). For USB-audio, it uses vmalloc for an intermediate buffer. Maybe this should be changed to dma_*() stuff for such architectures. Nevertheless, I don't know whether the crash is related with the audio part... Takashi
