At the moment, playing audio with PulseAudio with the qdsp6 driver
results in distorted sound. It seems like its timer-based scheduling
does not work properly with qdsp6 since setting tsched=0 in
the PulseAudio configuration avoids the issue.
Apparently this happens when the pointer() callback is not accurate
enough. There is a SNDRV_PCM_INFO_BATCH flag that can be used to stop
PulseAudio from using timer-based scheduling by default.
According to https://www.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2014-March/073816.html:
The flag is being used in the sense explained in the previous audio
meeting -- the data transfer granularity isn't fine enough but aligned
to the period size (or less).
q6apm-dai reports the position as multiple of
prtd->pcm_count = snd_pcm_lib_period_bytes(substream)
so it indeed just a multiple of the period size.
Therefore adding the flag here seems appropriate and makes audio
work out of the box.
Comment log inspired by Stephan Gerhold sent for q6asm-dai.c few years back.

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.
