ALSA burps, 2.6.7-rc2 VIA VT8233
This machine spams dmesg _very_ frequently with the following message:
ALSA sound/pci/via82xx.c:737: invalid via82xx_cur_ptr, using last
valid pointer
It doesn't happen constantly but comes in bursts. I haven't any idea what triggers it since I can be playing 20 minutes without any messages then there will be 50 of them with no change in computer usage.

It means that the driver reads an unexpected value from the CURR_COUNT register to calculate the current DMA position. I'm also not sure what's wrong. It happens only on a certain hardware.

You can turn off CONFIG_SND_DEBUG to shut them up.
