[RFC PATCH] ALSA: compress: Fix gapless playback state machine

[Srinivas Kandagatla]

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), !! FAILURE as state != SNDRV_PCM_STATE_RUNNING

I wonder who did gapless work on upstream so far?
