Hi - Still struggling with this problem.
None of the updated alsa-driver-modules (since 01-July-2010) have (Re)resolved the problem.

Not sure what info I can provide, or whether to open up a separate bug. Please let me know if I can do anything to help.

Once the error occurs, CPU usage ramps up and machine slows down. I either have to kill and then restart pulseaudio, or reload web-page (for instance) to regain control of machine, I can then try to play audio again.
This happens several times an hour.

Aside from using the updated alsa-driver-module, I tried out the tip from below in an attempt to cure the remaining stutter problem:-

However, makes no difference to stuttering or the meltdown of ALSA.

Thank you.
