Status: Superseded by v10 (posted 2026-10-30). [go to v10]

Capture trigger queues I/O messages before PCM_START. If the START
message cannot be allocated or sent, transfers may remain queued, and
ALSA does not invoke the action undo callback for the failed trigger.

Mark the stream stopped and disable transfers for every failed START
path. Arm runtime->stop_operating so sync_stop releases pending I/O and
prevents prepare, hw_params, or START retries until release succeeds.

The stopped flag is shared with ACK callbacks that can run without the
ALSA stream lock. Protect every stopped access with vss->lock. Read the
pending message count under the same lock in open and hw_params. In
sync_stop, decide whether RELEASE is needed and mark the stream stopped
in one locked transition; leave it stopped when release or draining fails.

Always cancel elapsed-period work in sync_stop, even when no RELEASE
is needed.

Record the RELEASE obligation after successful PREPARE and clear it as
soon as RELEASE succeeds. If the subsequent RX wait fails, retry that
wait without submitting RELEASE again.
