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'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.

I also reproduced the bug from text consoles, running "playmidi -a
somefile.mid" in one vt and "aptitude -u" in another.
