Refer to https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=56473#c10

I have installed mandriva 2010 on virtual box

when using xmms and libao output plugin to play system sound startup3.wav

xmms hang at the end of the playback only when enable buffering in libao
output plugin.(configure output plugin in xmms, unfortunately default is
enable buffering buffer size 3000 chunk size 1000)  ,

xmms does not hang when you disable the buffer or using liboss/libALSA
output plugin

The last message in the pulseaudio server is
D: protocol-native.c  'underrun on libao[xmms] playback stream' , 0 bytes in
queue.

The sound card seem running since hw_ptr and appl_ptr are increasing when
cat /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/sub0/status

After a while , the following message appear

E:alsa-sink.c : ALSA woke us up to write new data , but there was actually
nothing to write!
