Just to clarify what Joe is saying do:

		/*  Wait for complete */
		while (timemout < TIMEOUT) {
			if (ni_readl(AIFIFO_Status_6143) & 0x10)
				break;
			udelay(1);
		}

I added in a delay...  The problem is that you'd probably have to look
at the hardware spec to know what timeout to use or if the delay is
needed.
