Bug Description
Sorry, i've already checked a lot of Bugs now, but no one seems to be caused by the snd_cmipci module … So probably I've got the first in Lucid ;) But I'm no nativ speaker (you will see… ) so probably…
I've got two Soundcards one with an Intel ICH Chip, one with an CMI – I've also tried disabling the onboard Intel Card… with the same results. System Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, 2.6.32-22-generic
Well, what happened:
Several Audioplayers (Audacious2, VLC, Totem, Listen) stop playing Sound after a while … How long it works seems not reproducible :( After this first period with everything working okay… the sound dies ;)
Meanwhile I found a connecting to pulseaudio (which crashes everytime when sound stops – you can see this by the changing PIDs of Pulseaudio, right?)
So I've restarted Pulseaudio with -v and it told me to tell you ;)

which means:

and so here I am :(
As a result pulseaudio dies and so the soundsystem dies :[]
Some more Information will come later, with another browser (Midori won't do that :()
Okay … Fixed by the audio-dev-team ppa! Thanks a lot!
