I have a bGears b-Enspirer card supported by the snd-oxygen driver of the latest ALSA release. Things work fine for a short time then the machine hangs and I am forced to reboot. This is a Debian 4 system. The build procedure I used was:
1. Build custom kernel from the 2.6.18 sources, with ALSA enabled as a module. 2. Build latest version of alsa driver against this kernel, as well as libs and utils. 3. Removed modules installed by Debian package of custom kernel and installed new driver modules. 4. Depmod and module config changes specified on ALSA site. Usually the system hangs when adjusting the volume or skipping tracks in Rhythmbox or Amarok. For some reason the system hangs more quickly when using Rhythmbox. The interval between startup and system hang seems completely random, anywhere from a minute or two to a half hour. System is a quad core Xeon with 8 gigs of ram. Kernel debugging is something I am new to, so I am looking for suggestions on ways to debug the problem myself, and determine whether it's a driver issue or perhaps a hardware problem. The system does not hang in normal operation with the sound drivers disabled.
