To answer my own question, when I tried kernel 2.6.16-2-686 (uni processor) on Debian unstable instead of the 2.6.17-686 kernel on Debian unstable, the problem disappeared. (Note that the 2.6.17-686 kernel is SMP-aware). So the problem seems to either be having 2.6.17 kernel or an SMP kernel in combination with the EMU10K1 playing MIDI files under heavy disk activity.
