In my case (using the soundblaster driver for my AWE32), this was caused by memory getting fragmented enough that the sound driver couldn't allocate a DMA buffer.
The docs told me to add the option "dmabuf=1" to my `modprobe -a sound` call. AFAIK this only works on 2.2 kernels. I'm not at home and cant remember how to get the "options sound dmabuf=1" line into /etc/conf.modules (or modules.conf), but look in that file and it should have a pointer to the man page to read about it. pax.
