The behavior depends on the alsa-lib setup.  Doesn't the default
config use dmix, right?  If so, it looks like an access to wrong
mapped pages.

Check substream->mmap_count.  It's incremented/decremented in
snd_pcm_mmap_data_open/close in include/pcm.h.  It has to reach to
zero properly with closing a PCM stream.
