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.

In order to find the place where mplayer reports Broken pipe, search for
"write error" in mplayer.strace. Strange enough, there's no system call
returning EPIPE but I don't know the internals of ALSA so that might not
mean anything.

I've done some tests with another soundcard (builtin nforce4, intel8x0
driver) and this bug doesn't appear there. So it seems that this problem
is somehow specific to the Audigy soundcard.
