I will try this, thanks. I had my period/buffer size the same, but the
rate I had 48000 .. maybe this could be it.

Also, I am positive that with alsa-lib-1.0.5, with/without mmap, it
would do the same, but I put it on without mmap last night, and now
about 22/24 hours later it was still playing, so it might be fixed
for non-mmap at least.

My audio controller is also an Intel (SoundMax):

-----
0000:00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801EB/ER
(ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02)
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. P4P800 Mainboard
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 201
I/O ports at e800
I/O ports at ee80 [size=64]
Memory at febff800 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512]
Memory at febff400 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256]
Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2

and somebody else had an intel chipset mobo with yamaha sound chip
on, so I do not know if it might be with intel chipset based ac97
sound that this issue comes to light - anybody else have an sis/nvidia
based board?


Thanks,
