[alsa-devel] exceprionally large value

[Johan Esvelt]

Hi,

My PC crashed and these are the last 3 lines in /var/log/messages:

-------------------------8<----------------------

Jan  7 19:11:48 charles pulseaudio[2646]: alsa-util.c: snd_pcm_avail()
returned a value that is exceptionally large: 416448 bytes (2360 ms).
Jan  7 19:11:48 charles pulseaudio[2646]: alsa-util.c: Most likely this
is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_emu10k1'. Please report this issue to
the ALSA developers.

I am running Centos 6.5:

Linux version 2.6.32-358.18.1.el6.x86_64
(mockbuild at c6b10.bsys.dev.centos.org) (gcc version 4.4.7 20120313 (Red
Hat 4.4.7-3) (GCC) ) #1 SMP Wed Aug 28 17:19:38 UTC 2013

What can I do to prevent this from happening again?

Best regards,
