Description BedOS_Gui 2008-08-18 10:17:39 UTC 
When playing a sound (i.e. a ring bell on mozilla-thunderbird when mail comes) on my box with pulseaudio, this error message appears in my logs :

pcm_hw.c SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_DRAIN failed

but the sound works fine and no other sound software cause same error.

My sound card is :

Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia
	Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. Device 7327
	Flags: bus master, slow devsel, latency 64, IRQ 16
	Memory at fe8f4000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
	Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
	Kernel driver in use: HDA Intel


Reproducible: Always

I correct my post : the sound-software aplay seems to be at the origin of this error, I have same message when playing a sound in Gajim.

Fresh pulseaudio-0.9.12 seems to have resolved this bug.
