Could you build with XXX_CONST_TIMER defined? This will disable the adaptive timer-resolution handling I added to the driver, which doesn't exist in OSS sbxfi code at all.
No change in behaviour. It survives a little longer, but then the system hardlocks... without me even touching the keyboard even.
This can be a spin deadlock I fixed today. Could you try the latest sound-unstable GIT or snapshot tarball?
Also, now the driver has "debug" module option. As default, it's 1, and the driver shows some debug messages. When it's 2, it shows more often, e.g. at each IRQ. When it's 3, it shows all register accesses.
The debug option can be changed even dynamically via sysfs. Write /sys/modules/snd_sbxfi/parameters/debug file as root, # echo 3 > /sys/modules/..../debug
Just a note before I go to bed :)

Would someone mind telling me how I can put my card in hda-intel mode and use the snd-hda-intel driver with it? I read it was possible to do that with the creative windows software but didn't see that anywhere. Is there any reason I shouldn't do that? Do I really need any Xfi driver when I can do that? My Xfi card is a newer one that should have the hda-intel mode. It's Vista compatible (though I use it dual boot with xp) and a newer PCIe model called Titanium. It's newer than the Creative Linux beta driver, so it will not work with that or OSS4. I just removed OSS4 and going back to Alsa to test that snd-sbxfi because OSS4 would crash my computer with this sound card. I think the OSS4 was written for older Xfi models, not this newer PCIe model I have. Chances of me getting it to work in Linux aren't good, so I'll probably be doing a RMA on it in the next few days before I run out of time to do that and going back to using onboard audio.
The sound-unstable tree contains the HD-audio X-Fi support, but right now it's disabled due to possible conflicts of drivers. Just uncomment the corresponding entries in PCI entries of sound/pci/hda_intel.c.
