The previous workaround I told doesn't work, but...
I've found a WORKING workaround: unloading the snd_emu10k1_synth
I don't need it since it's just for loading soundfonts into soundcard RAM, AFAIK. Instead I use qsynth with soundfonts of any size.
I've just deleted the file /lib/modules/2.6.15-26-k7/kernel/sound/pci/emu10k1/snd-emu10k1.ko (where 2.6.15-26-k7 is your kernel version).
My system no longer freezes. The problem is probably located in that module.
