The root cause of this bug is in the snd_timer_notify1 [1]. At the end
of this function, it calls "ts->ccallback(ts, event + 100, &tstamp,
resolution)".

Here the variable event is 5. It adds 100 and is passed as 2nd
argument of snd_timer_user_ccallback.

>From the variable naming, the 2nd argument should an event, and in the
range of event enumeration. In fact, 105 (event + 100) is out of this
range. I don't quite understand the meaning of adding 100. Any thought
here?
