What distro and what kernel?
We are currently experiencing the same problem with ALL sound cards on 
Mandrake Cooker.  Could you test this on any other cards without changing the 
alsa setup or kernel?
It would be VERY helpful for us to know that this is a kernel problem and not 
an alsa problem.

Thanks,
Austin
