Comment(by mcarans):

 The Alsa developer said:

 "Did PA server has any audio data to play since there is no PA client
 connected to the server ?

 Why PA server start the playback device when there is no data to play ?

 this lead to underrun when PA server did not write to the driver

 you have to ask PA developer why try_recover() occur , it seem underrun
 since there is no PA client provide audio data to the server"
