First off, I apologize if I'm reporting this bug to the wrong list or in the wrong manner; I have never done this before. I've got a Skylake system (kernel 4.3.3-2-ARCH) using Pulseaudio and ALSA which uses a FiiO E10k Olympus 2 (external DAC/AMP) as the soundcard. Very seldom the system will fall to it's knees and ultimately hang, requiring a hard reboot. Checking the system logs gives an error and a dump from alsa-util.c, which is attached to this mail. I'm unsure if there is anymore info that you would need. If more is required, please, do ask.

Jan 14 18:17:10 den pulseaudio[6298]: E: [alsa-sink-USB Audio] alsa-util.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_usb_audio'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers.
