Hello, recently I have updated my debian sid box to the latest gnome 3, which installed also PulseAudio. Pleasantly, sound worked out of the box, even flash, and my sound card SB XFi-Extreme Audio is detected and used (had to use onboard sound for Linux prior to that). But alas, a big problem occurs: every time I play music via a gstreamer app (rhythmbox) and play a flash in firefox, after a minute or so the whole system freezes. I mean, the whole system: no mouse, no keyboard, even ssh from a different computer does not work. And sound loops endlessly. Syslog does not seem to give useful hints. These messages occur, but not at the time of the crash: pulseaudio[18398]: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Daemon already running. pulseaudio[18373]: [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to open module "module-x11-publish": file not found pulseaudio[18373]: [alsa-sink] alsa-sink.c: ALSA woke us up to write new data to the device, but there was actually nothing to write! pulseaudio[18373]: [alsa-sink] alsa-sink.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_hda_intel'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers. pulseaudio[18373]: [alsa-sink] alsa-sink.c: We were woken up with POLLOUT set -- however a subsequent snd_pcm_avail() returned 0 or another value < min_avail. I hope, you can help me here. Kind regards, Dirk
