Try this out:
         /* if we are currently stopped, then our CIV is actually set to our
          * *last* sg segment and we are ready to wrap to the next. 
However,
          * if we set our LVI to the last sg segment, then it won't wrap to
          * the next sg segment, it won't even get a start.  So, 
instead, when
          * we are stopped, we set both the LVI value and also we increment
          * the CIV value to the next sg segment to be played so that when
          * we call start_{dac,adc}, things will operate properly
          */
         if (!dmabuf->enable) {
                 outb((inb(port+OFF_CIV)+1)&31, port+OFF_LVI);
                 if(rec) {
                         __start_adc(state);
                         while( !(inb(port + OFF_CR) & ((1<<4) | (1<<2))) )
                                 barrier();
                 } else {
                         __start_dac(state);
                         while( !(inb(port + OFF_CR) & ((1<<4) | (1<<2))) )
                                 barrier();
                 }
         }
