When the ASP transmitter is taken out of reset it sends XEVT to the EDMA where it is 
"captured" in event register (ER).  If that event gets cleared out before 
turning on the EDMA you'll end up with a scenario like you described, i.e. once you kick 
off a transfer manually it will then run.  I haven't looked at the code you're using, but 
it sounds to me like the (re-)initialization sequence isn't correct.

The best way for the code to work would be for the EDMA to be configured BEFORE 
the McBSP.  That way, even if the EDMA initialization procedure clears the ER 
bits it won't matter because when the McBSP is subsequently released from reset 
it will send a new XEVT to the EDMA.

   Excellent tip, but the ASoC software is doing just what you
   suggested, starting the DMA prior to starting the ASP.  I also found
   that the latest DMA software also causes buffer underruns when
   playing Ogg Vorbis files, while the 2.6.25 version doesn't have
   these issues.  I'll keep looking.

   Thanks,
   Mark
