I noticed this problem today using midi on my setup (alsa 1.0.1, kernel 2.6.1 with CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP) :
Debug: sleeping function called from invalid context at include/asm/uaccess.h:473
in_atomic():1, irqs_disabled():1
Call Trace:
[<c012139c>] __might_sleep+0xac/0xe0

I'm sorry I didn't check if this was fixed in 1.0.2, but though it was worth mentioning. This caused regular (~ 1/second) dropouts in pd while using midi.
