Comment:

 A session on the scope yesterday verified that the codec is sending all-
 zero data when the failure is hit (thanks Richard).

 Our next suspicion is some kind of i2c communication failure when setting
 up the codec for recording. We'll try to track this with the scope.

 When starting recording at 32k, the data written to the i2c bus is:
 {{{
 34 80 00
 3a 80 80
 3b 00 08
 3b 08 28
 3a 8c 80
 }}}

 And when stopping:
 {{{
 3a 80 80
 3b 00 08
 3a 00 00
 3b 00 00
 }}}

 I can't see any variance in this communication from the linux side, and
 there aren't any obvious i2c write errors.
