Are you on a 2.4 kernel or a 2.6?
I have an epia M10000. I used to run a 2.4 kernel on it (If it ain't
broke, don't fix it philosophy, then I tried to fix it....). If it was
left on for a long period of time with nothing playing the output
would just turn off. Now I had SPDIF hooked up, and I don't remember
if it did this with analog as well. To fix the problem I just
restarted the machine. Bit of an annoyance but it worked. I have a
seperate backend so I never left the machine on for long anyways.
I recently upgraded to a 2.6 kernel and so far haven't noticed this
behavior yet, but time will tell.
