I've just recently upgraded to Mandriva 2010.1 hoping that the above
problems would go away. They haven't. I'm still seeing syslog entries
like this:

pulseaudio[24553]: alsa-util.c: snd_pcm_delay() returned a value that is
exceptionally large: -161920 bytes (-917 ms).
localhost pulseaudio[24553]: alsa-util.c: Most likely this is a bug in
the ALSA driver 'snd_ens1371'. Please report this issue to the ALSA
developers.

localhost pulseaudio[24553]: ratelimit.c: 280 events suppressed
localhost pulseaudio[24553]: asyncq.c: q overrun, queuing locally

Because of the constant disk access when this is happening my system
becomes almost unusable.

Is this an Alsa issue or a Pulseaudio issue. Other than disabling
pulseaudio how can I attempt to correct this?
