I'm facing a weird issue with an oss_cmpci supported card, CMedia CM8768 (rev 68).
Sound actually works when the machine starts, and for something like 24 hours. But at some point, without any particular action, no sound will be played by any application and the kernel will output this kind of messages:
[118330.573576] osscore: Output timed out on audio engine 1/'CMedia CM8768 (rev 68) (vmix)' (count=0)
[118331.581525] osscore: Output timed out on audio engine 1/'CMedia CM8768 (rev 68) (vmix)' (count=0)
[118332.588531] osscore: Output timed out on audio engine 1/'CMedia CM8768 (rev 68) (vmix)' (count=0)
[...]
[1064424.384026] osscore: Output timed out (sync) on audio engine 1
Now, stranger thing is, i'll try to play something using mplayer for example, and it will appear like "locked", but if i start 'osstest' at the same time, mplayer would "unlock" and the sound will play... until osstest finished the test.
I've tried pretty much every hint as described on the Tips & Tricks page, no one would fix this issue. Of course i tried every possible combination of ossdetect / osstest / soundon / soundoff.
This happens on a Debian Squeeze GNU/Linux system (2.6.32-5-686-bigmem) either with debian's oss4 packages (build 2003) or compiled oss4 (build 2004). Here's what ossinfo shows (yes there's 2 sound cards on this machine, the hd_audio one works, and i tried unloading everything except oss_cmpci and osscore):
