Any app using ALSA OSS emulation on top of SOF will fail to error from OSS SNDCTL_DSP_SETFMT ioctl. Reported initially as an issue with xournalpp (application using PortAudio with an OSS backend), but applies more generally to other apps using OSS as well. Problem is caused by SOF PCM not supporting repeated calls to hw_params(), without matching calls to pcm_free(). This is however exactly what the ALSA OSS PCM code is doing when it is handling the OSS ioctls. The problem will lead to leaking of DSP resources and eventual failure of DSP PCM_PARAMS IPC.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
