Hi! I have this problem with my SB Audigy SE, u can see this card here http://ru.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=1&subcategory=205&product=14257

Pulseaudio reboted every 1-2 hours, then restarted again =(

[aslok@3r]2011.03.09-23:08:07:~$ cat /var/log/syslog | grep pulseaudio | tail

I did make level to error, and now can see only this:

[aslok@3r]2011.03.09-23:12:36:~$ cat /var/log/syslog | grep pulseaudio | tail
Mar 9 23:06:22 3r pulseaudio[23000]: alsa-sink.c: ALSA потребовала записать данные на устройство, но данных для записи не оказалось!
Mar 9 23:06:22 3r pulseaudio[23000]: alsa-sink.c: Скорее всего это ошибка в драйвере ALSA 'snd_ca0106'. Сообщите о ней разработчикам ALSA.
Mar 9 23:06:22 3r pulseaudio[23000]: alsa-sink.c: Был установлен флаг POLLOUT, однако snd_pcm_avail() вернула 0 или значение, меньшее min_avail.

It mean in english like this

alsa-sink.c: ALSA woke us up to write new data to the device, but there was actually nothing to write!
alsa-sink.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_ca0106'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers.
alsa-sink.c: We were woken up with POLLOUT set -- however a subsequent snd_pcm_avail() returned 0 or another value < min_avail.

I can show u my configs, if need. I think, problem with 5.1 sorround and my ca0106...
