Comment (by Authenticated User):

 The issue has been resolved on my specific equipment with the combination
 of the latest kernel, ALSA and pulseaudio components. Here's my
 [http://www.alsa-
 project.org/db/?f=a0907823a4e2d8efd0f9b32381a496fc337c7157 output from
 alsa-info] and a list of the specific versions of ALSA and pulseaudio
 packages that are working for me.

 lspci|grep -i audio; uname -a; rpm -q pulseaudio
 {{{

 The steps to minimize the issue that I undertook in reply 16 are still
 active; however, after the latest versions of ALSA and pulseaudio were
 installed, I still heard an occasional dropout when the automatically
 detected '''tsched=1''' option was active, so in /etc/pulse/default.pa I
 added '''tsched=0''' to the ''module-hal-detect'' line and haven't heard a
 dropout since.

 {{{
 load-module module-hal-detect tsched=0
 }}}

 The occasional "ALSA woke us up to write new data to the device, but there
 was actually nothing to write!" message still shows in /var/log/messages,
 but the corresponding audio drop is not. Thank you to both the pulseaudio
 and ALSA teams for your hard work and dedication; your efforts are greatly
 appreciated.
