Hi devs, I'm experiencing random hick-ups on my Carbon X1 2nd version with a Xonar U3 USB sound card plugged into the onelink dock. When this happens, the whole desktop freezes, whatever was last playing (second or two) loops and after a while (~30seconds) everything recovers.. I see this in my logs: Mar 16 11:37:07 ksekera-arch rtkit-daemon[1207]: The canary thread is apparently starving. Taking action. Mar 16 11:37:12 ksekera-arch pulseaudio[1203]: E: [alsa-sink-USB Audio] alsa-util.c: snd_pcm_avail() returned a value that is exceptionally large: 4194088 bytes (23776 ms). Mar 16 11:37:12 ksekera-arch pulseaudio[1203]: E: [alsa-sink-USB Audio] alsa-util.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_usb_audio'.
