via82cxxx_audio driver bug?

[Nicholas Knight]

(my apologies if this gets seen as a little offtopic, I felt this was the 
best place to get results from people who knew what was going on with 
drivers)
My writeup on the bug when I belived it was definitely an XMMS bug is 
avalible here:

you'll need to scroll down to see details on what I isolated it to

I just sent email to the maintainer of the via82cxxx_audio driver 
regarding this bug, hopefully I'll hear back from him soon, but I'd also 
like to hear from anyone else who has used and/or hacked at this driver, 
and if they've seen XMMS or other audio applications with access to 
/dev/mixer have strange, temporarily lockups when not in root/realtime 
priority. I've yet to be able to test this with other audio applications 
besides XMMS.

Thanks.
