Public bug reported:

I am tentatively reporting this here since the bug appears to be
specific to my Audigy 4, and does not appear when on-board sound is used
instead.

Ubuntuforums threads:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=617777
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=622389

To summarise what is in the above two threads, my system will hard lock
when the Audigy 4 is in use for playback, the software raid is being
accessed, and any ethernet port is connected to the network (though not
necessarily in use).

Version numbers:
alsa-base: 1.0.14-1ubuntu2
mdadm: 2.6.2-1ubuntu2
Ubuntu: Gutsy (7.10)

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uname -a
Linux tokaygecko 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:05:12 GMT 2007 i686 
GNU/Linux

Motherboard is a VIA chipset, specifically an Abit AX8-V

Ethernet problems discovered using both on-board gigabit controller and
PCI-based Belkin Gigabit Ethernet Controller.

Sound card is a Creative Audigy 4, OEM edition (so no breakout box or
remote control).


To reproduce (method 1):
Boot system
Wait for network to connect
Start playing an audio file directly off raid filesystem
 - machine crashes, usually before first sound output is heard

(method 2):
Boot system
Wait for network to connect
Start playing an audio file on a non-raided filesystem
Access the raided filesystem (sometimes small operations aren't enough, block 
transfers seem to consistently work for this)
 - machine crashes, apparently instantly

(method 3):
Boot system
Ensure network devices are disconnected (e.g. with sudo ifdown eth0)
Start playing an audio file directly off raid filesystem
Bring up network connection (e.g. sudo ifup eth0)
 - brief pause for DHCP, if applicable, then full lock as soon as IP address is 
registered.

If you need more information, give me a hint on where to find it and I
will do my best.
