[P5Q-PRO, Realtek ALC1200, Green Line Out, Rear] audio fails after a while - memblock : pool full

[Tim Lunn]

every few hours while listening to music sound will stop working and instead become a garbled mess. I then have to quit audio app and restart it to get it back to normal.

I have not found any specific examples that can re-create this bug, it just happens when it feels like it. Although I have noticed it is far less frequent while logging. it is not specific to gstreamer apps as also happens with xine.

Anyway please see the attached logs and let me know if you need any further information.
