When using dmix playback will sporadically hang, often when jumping forward or backwards with xine-ui or similar media player. There is a resolved bug in the alsa bugtracker: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=1074. I've tried the interim patch submitted there and it resolves the problem for me. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Configure xine-ui for playback via a dmix device specified in asound.conf 2.Open a file and jump forwards and backwards in the file rapidly. Actual Results: Xine hangs Expected Results: No hang.
