This seems to be 100% realted to usb-audio.
I Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0d8c:000c C-Media Electronics, Inc. Audio Adapter

I had a centos box worked fine. I disabled the on board audio. put my 
usb device in
and it is behaving the same way. plays wave files but asterisk dies.

I  have been searching for a know issue on this or fix but have not 
found one yet.

Any help is appreciated.
