Public bug reported: In syslog I was instructed to announce ALSA-developers: snd_pcm_delay returned exceptionally high value. In the same time my VLC player ate all of the available ram and had to be killed.
A bug has come back to my Compal JFL92 in 10.04 (I cannot say, was it in the time of release already) and occurs also in live-CD sessions of 11.04 and 11.10. If there is not a continuous input (moving mouse/touchpad or pressing keys), the system kind of jams (in 11.10 my screen jams like a freeze-frame: eg. seconds/minutes in the clock and gnome-system-monitor are not moving) and the music I am listening sounds like coming from a broken CD (skipping/jumping a bit back in 10.04) or like a jammed phonograph/vinyl record (in 11.10). Quite amazing, isn't it? It might have something to do with kernel and chipset/motherboard. I remember, that In 9.04 the OS did not even continue loading if I was not ready to start moving my finger in the touchpad during splash to release the jam.
