Hi, As far as I remember (since the RC of the alsa-0.9 series), I didn't see this problem with former releases of the alsa-driver on my system with the VIA VT8233 southbridge.
When I start playing an audio file like a .mp3 or .ogg, the sound is irremediably crackling and I get the error : Audio device open for 44.1Khz, stereo, 16 bit failed Trying 44.1Khz, 8 bit stereo. Audio device open for 44.1Khz, stereo, 8 bit failed With xmms, the error is : mmap_commit Le fichier existe (The file exists) at the beginning of the play. If use an application where the sound is directly transmitted from the line-in, there is no problem, the sound is clear. These errors happens with 2.6.0-test9-mm2 kernel (the first 2.6 series I try) and 2.4.20-r5 to r8 series of gentoo kernel and 2.4.22 vanilla kernel.
