[alsa-devel] alsa-sink.c: ALSA woke us up to write new data to the device, but there was actually nothing to write!

Hello,

sometimes it occure that my speakers do not play sound although the
speakers should play music with VLC. Then i took a look at
/var/log/messages and found this:

Jan 13 17:01:39 riker pulseaudio[3335]: alsa-sink.c: ALSA woke us up to
write new data to the device, but there was actually nothing to write!
Jan 13 17:01:39 riker pulseaudio[3335]: alsa-sink.c: Most likely this is
a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_hda_intel'. Please report this issue to
the ALSA developers.
Jan 13 17:01:39 riker pulseaudio[3335]: alsa-sink.c: We were woken up
with POLLOUT set -- however a subsequent snd_pcm_avail() returned 0 or
another value < min_avail.

The output of utils_alsa-info.sh is there:
http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=1767e9bc745724a67c908549d20c137375d0605e

I didn't know wether this is a bug or a misconfiguration of my openSUSE 11.2
