Heya! There seems to be something wrong with snd_pcm_update_avail() for mmap in recent 2.6.26 kernels: Quoting Alexander Gavrilov: <snip> Fedora 9 with kernel 2.6.26.3-29 exhibits a bug where the driver decrements its hw.ptr under certain stress conditions, or at least it appears so from debugging. It causes alsa-lib to give absurdly huge avail numbers to pulseaudio, which crashes it. This patch adds a work-around to avoid such unfriendly behavior until the bug is fixed. As this is not a real fix, it displays a message every time it is activated. </snip> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=462200 (see the patch attached to that bug report) Takashi, Jaroslav, do you know anything about this?
