It's all very odd. > Was my memory just momentarily too fragmented for ALSA > to allocate a big enough DMA buffer? no, the current emu10k1 driver uses sg-buffer for playback, so the fragmentation is not the cause. if this error comes from the buffer allocation, then it means that page-0 allocation failed. please check the kernel message. i modified again the pci_alloc_consistent() wrapper. hope the newer one fixes this bug. a new one tries to allocate pages with the original dma mask if failed without dma mask.
