Hmm, this again is a bug that is difficult to trigger...  At least, I
couldn't reproduce locally.  How many processes are you running with
stress program?

It seems that there is nothing more than opening /dev/audio and does
some mmap in the job.  Is there any other relevant thing there?

Also, this assumes that the first sound card is Dummy driver, right?
Check /proc/asound/cards.

If it's about snd-dummy driver, one blind shot would be a patch like
below.  But even if it would fix, it doesn't explain why it's
triggered in that way...


thanks,

Takashi
