I have no way of getting at the oops, but somebody out there probably has both this soundcard and a serial console (or somethin'). I present it in the form of a script, but you'll probably have no problem realizing where the problem is. The number of "writers" never gets past 64. I guess the 65th should probably get the same as the 2nd writer does on other cards... As usual, let me know if this is useless without the lspci --more-magic thing.
