Subject:  [ALSA] emu10k1: hw_ptr skipping when unpausing mplayer

Since 2.6.30 I'm experiencing sound and video stuttering when unpausing 
mplayer. The soundcard is an Audigy 1, driver is emu10k1. Kernel is 
x86_64, userspace is 32-bit. I doesn't happen always, but regularly 
enough.


Below is the ouput of mplayer:

[AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pcm.c:6482:(snd_pcm_mmap_commit) commit offset (8886) 
doesn't match with appl_ptr (139955) % buf_size (16384)
[AO_ALSA] Write error: Broken pipe
[AO_ALSA] Trying to reset soundcard.
[AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pcm_hw.c:578:(snd_pcm_hw_prepare) 
SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_PREPARE failed: Device or resource busy
[AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pcm_hw.c:578:(snd_pcm_hw_prepare) 
SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_PREPARE failed: Device or resource busy
[AO_ALSA] alsa-lib: pcm_hw.c:578:(snd_pcm_hw_prepare) 
SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_PREPARE failed: Device or resource busy
[AO_ALSA] pcm prepare error: Device or resource busy


After setting xrun_debug to 5 I get the following in the log:

The log is virtually flooded with these messages until I interrupt 
mplayer.

I'd be graceful for any help.

Greetings,
