Bug#365560: linux-image-2.6.16-1-amd64-k8: Spontaneous reboots when playing audio

[David Meggy <davidmeggy@yahoo.ca>]

Package: linux-image-2.6.16-1-amd64-k8
Version: 2.6.16-10
Severity: important


The subject line says it all "Spontaneous reboots when playing audio"

I see no errors or logs, and it isn't reliably reproduceable.

This system is a Debian Sid up to date system, that doesn't run any programs not from the Debian archive

I've been seeing this problem for a long time, but I never could figure out what was the common factor

I'm not sure what information I need to give, but here is the output of /dev/sndstat

$ cat /dev/sndstat
