Bug Description
When I was playing a flash video the screen froze and the audio continued a bit and then stopped for a minute or so and then started for a few seconds again. I was able to ssh into my laptop and save the logs. Syslog said:
pulseaudio[2242]: [alsa-sink] alsa-util.c: snd_pcm_avail() returned a value that is exceptionally large: 591416 bytes (3352 ms).
pulseaudio[2242]: [alsa-sink] alsa-util.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_hda_intel'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers.
so I did. The full logs are attached. This bug happens often but I can't reliably reproduce it and it seems very random.
