the soundcard IRQ trace you got is interesting:

 BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context X(2948) at kernel/mutex.c:25 Oct 21 07:53:02 localhost kernel: in_atomic():1 [00010000], irqs_disabled():0

do you have PREEMPT_REALTIME enabled? The above trace is a direct
interrupt - only the timer interrupt is allowed to execute directly in
the PREEMPT_REALTIME model - things break badly if it happens for any
other interrupt (such as the soundcard IRQ).
