Comment (by lennart):

 Hmm, I have an idea what is wrong. The backtrace you posted earlier shows
 a deadlock that happens when the RT threads have more than 128 messages in
 the queue and din't find time to process them. This has been fixed a while
 back in git but has not been released in a version yet. Usually this is
 however a sign of an issue in the clients connecting to PA since they
 issue so many requests in such a short time frame. Could you please
 elaborate what client this is? It apparently goes through the ALSA compat
 layer, right? What's the usage pattern of the client? Does it create a lot
 of simultaneous streams? A lot of very short streams? Anything special?
