Comment 3 for bug 568277

First of all, it's the 1st time I've got a bug on pulseaudio (never had before, because I always had it disabled, until Xubuntu 10.04 alpha 2). And second, /var/log syslog spitted off tons of lines with pulseaudio blaming some Intel driver that was loaded, but my board shouldn't use it, since it uses a NVIDIA and not an INTEL chip.

When things went back, I noticed the game was muted and I had to exit from Xfce and turn back to get it working again.

$ cat /var/log/syslog.1 | grep pulseaudio | grep Apr\ 22\ 04
Apr 22 04:21:26 host pulseaudio[23961]: alsa-util.c: O snd_pcm_avail() retornou um valor que é excepcionalmente grande: 406688 bytes (2118 ms).
Apr 22 04:21:36 host pulseaudio[23961]: alsa-util.c: É mais provável que isso seja um erro no driver "snd_intel8x0" do ALSA. Por favor, relate esse problema aos desenvolvedores do ALSA.
