I'm getting the same behaviour off the same card (Nova-T connexant) and
kernel (2.6.11). In my case the warning is happening a lot, at the rate
of about a thousand a minute. That is essentially making using the card
in any application unviable.
From the original suggestions I've tried a few PCI re-arrangements, but
still end up with the Nova card on IRQ 5 which is a little loaded on my
system - sharing with the network card can't be an ideal situation.

I'd love to be able to shift some of the stuff from 5 onto the lower
IRQs as an example USB is practically irrelevant for me. I may
experiment with disabling it in the BIOS to see if that helps in any way.
