Sorry for the slow answer, I've been busy...

Anyway, I don't think it's a question of overwriting anything, it's more
likely to be caused by HAL2/HPC configuration being completely different
from what ARCS expects, ARCS is known to be pretty bad about resetting
things the way they should be (f. ex. the Seeq on my test Indy is
completely hosed from the point of view of ARCS after a warm reboot, it
will send but won't ever receive anything, which is kinda annoying since
it means I can't remote netboot).

Also note that to simplify things the driver doesn't do very complete
shutdown of the DMA engine when playback stops, it just simply disables
DMA from HPC bus driver but leaves HAL2 DMA engine running (hey, it
works ;), which might confuse ARCS.

There are some projects to improve the HAL2 driver for someone with the
hardware, skills and time, namely:
1. Mixer support (the chip can do some very basic things, and
   mute-setting would be good to have)
2. Recording support (the code is almost there, just needs some
   finishing touches and refactoring of common routines)
