A few notes:
1. There is an extra semicolon on that last added line.
Oops. My bifocals.
2. sd->header_read no longer seems necessary.
This is very likely true.
3. If the SOF marker is split over two transfers then everything falls
apart.
Are you sure about that?
Simple example: One transfer ends with FF FF 00 and the next begins with FF
96 64. pac_find_sof() returns a pointer to 64, n is set to 0, len stays the
same, data now points at 3 bytes _before_ the transfer buffer, and we will
most likely get undefined behavior when trying to copy the data out of the
transfer buffer. Not only that, but the FF FF 00 portion of the SOF won't
get copied to the frame buffer.
Good point, since we will always pass frames to userspace which start with the
sof, maybe we should just only pass the variable part of the header to
userspace?
That sure feels like the easiest solution to me.

Hans
