 Hi!

 I'm using a E-MU 0404 USB card which *kind of* works in ALSA. I've been
 able to use the card before by running PulseAudio which, I believe,
 resamples sound to a sample rate the card (or it's limited ALSA driver)
 can handle. However, I've encountered a problem which I think is related
 to newer versions of PulseAudio.

 To begin with, using PulseAudio 0.9.14 on Arch Linux and Alsa 1.0.19,
 without "tsched=0" after "load-module module-hal-dectect" in default.pa,
 sound doesn't work at all. After adding this, PulseAudio seems to add
 "module-alsa-sink" correctly, but I don't get any sound (testing using
 sound preferences in Gnome). After running "pulseaudio -k" as a normal
 user, sound works for a few tries, then stops working again.

 I tried "pulseaudio -k" followed by "pulseaudio -vv" and then tried the
 "Test" button in sound preferences a few times. Sound worked, but I got
 this error: "E: module-alsa-sink.c: ALSA woke us up to write new data to
 the device, but there was actually nothing to write! Most likely this is
 an ALSA driver bug. Please report this issue to the PulseAudio
 developers."

 If you need more information, please tell me.
