It looks like 2.6.29 is not in Testing yet, and neither is the version of alsa you mention. However, I have a machine running unstable which has these version of the packages. The logs there have lines like these: -------------------------------------------------------------------- alsa-sink.c: Increasing wakeup watermark to 89.80 ms alsa-sink.c: ALSA woke us up to write new data to the device, but there was actually nothing to write! alsa-sink.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_usb_audio'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers. alsa-sink.c: We were woken up with POLLOUT set -- however a subsequent snd_pcm_avail() returned 0 or another value < min_avail. alsa-sink.c: Increasing wakeup watermark to 40.00 ms ratelimit.c: 18 events suppressed -------------------------------------------------------------------- So, it appears as if the problem is in the newer packages as well. The machine running Unstable has totally different hardware than the Testing machine I originally reported. Please let me know if you would like me to run any more debugging steps.
