[pulseaudio-discuss] alsa value < min_avail

[Peter Meerwald]

Hello,

I hit the following (Ubuntu natty):

pmeerw at pmeerw-pc2:~/Desktop$ pulseaudio 
E: alsa-sink.c: ALSA woke us up to write new data to the device, but there was actually nothing to write!
E: alsa-sink.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_hda_intel'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers.
E: alsa-sink.c: We were woken up with POLLOUT set -- however a subsequent 
snd_pcm_avail() returned 0 or another value < min_avail.

alsa-time-test hw:0 outputs the following 
...
477445	477433	137324	6253	4220	196	4	1	3
477450	477433	137324	6254	4219	197	4	1	3
496587	496584	156371	6255	5058	-642	4	1	3
alsa-time-test: alsa-time-test.c:220: main: Assertion `(unsigned) avail <= 
buffer_size' failed.
Aborted

00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High 
Definition Audio (rev 05)

is this still relevant?
