Hard lockup running pulseaudio

[mestudd]

Running Fedora 10 on an Athlon X2 with an SB Live and onboard NForce AC97 or some such. Starting pulseaudio hard locks the machine almost immediately. I don't think I'm running with RT priviledges.

pulseaudio -vvvv ends with the following lines:

D: alsa-util.c: boundary : 4611686018427487904

PA should not be able to lock up your machine unless you run ith with RT sched. If the machine locks up then this is a kernel issue.

I am closing this now since I am sure this is a kernel/driver problem -- PA cannot lock your machine up.
