  Yes, now it is mentioned in isa/sb/sb16_main.c driver source.

  It is not a IFACE_MIXER switch, but IFACE_PCM type switch.

  From the error message you posted about this bug, it looks that driver
is trying to call prepare() operator on a substream that is still 
in SNDRV_PCM_STATE_RUNNING state. Perhaps Jaroslav could tell us if this
can happen if hardware pointers are not updated anymore (because sb16 DMA
engine gets stucked somehow). Do you get an XRUN message in
/var/log/messages?

        Uros.
