Summary:                    EPIPE on Audigy with surround sound when seeking in
6 channel sound file
Description: 
Seeking in a 6 channel sound or video file using a surround device gives
EPIPE (Broken pipe). This happens with both mplayer and vlc. My soundcard
is an Audigy 1 (SB0090). I'm running a 64-bit kernel with 32-bit
userspace. I've tried libs and modules from CVS two days ago with no
success.

Think it might be important to point out that I don't have neither an
.asoundrc nor an /etc/asound.conf file.

EPIPE is just an underrun or overrun, it should not be a fatal error. 
Consumer apps like media players should be ignoring underruns by setting
stop_threshold equal to boundary for the PCM.

Does the app crash or exit when this occurs?
