Summary:                    System freeze at end of MIDI playback
Description: 
Hardware: Sound Blaster Live! Value
Software: sfxload (for patch loading) and drvmidi (playback)

I often play a list of MIDI files. On a number of occasions---either at
the end of a MIDI song, or when I hit STOP---the computer has frozen hard.
The recurrence is rare enough to make this more an annoyance than a
showstopper, but then, I haven't been too keen on ferreting out this bug.

I am reporting this against ALSA from the 2.6.8 kernel, as that is what
I'm using now (Debian official package) but the same problem arose with
alsa-driver 1.0.8 (as compiled by me) on 2.4.29.

I could probably rig up something to start/stop MIDI playback repeatedly,
with a debug-compiled driver, but is there any way to get useful debugging
output when the bug takes the whole system down?

I just tried the alsa-driver and alsa-kernel from your hg repository,
running on the same kernel with the built-in ALSA disabled, and I get the
same kernel error after letting "pmidi" run for a few minutes.

I also noticed that the OSS emulation (sfxload and playmidi) now work with
the latest ALSA from Hg, however using those programs produce the same
crash.

The version file in the alsa-driver directory from HG has "1.0.12rc1". 
The built-in ALSA, according to /proc/asound/version is "1.0.11rc4".

I'm having the same kind of problem, apparently related to a combination of
MIDI file playback and heavy disk activity:

I initially thought I had a problem with denemo, but was able to 
reproduce a complete system lockup when playing MIDI files, given 
sufficient hard disk activity using:

aplaymidi -p17:0
playmidi -a
kmid

The first 2 were tried under twm, all 3 methods were tried under KDE.

Any suggestions on further debugging steps welcome.
