Summary:                    ALSA sound cuts out w/ message: ALSA
sound/pci/via82xx.c:737: invalid via82xx_cur_ptr, using last valid pointer
Description: 
Particularily noticeable when watching a DVD via xine using AC3 Pass
Through.  Sound will cut out momentarily (usually for no more than a
second).  The skip is always accompanied by multiples of this message in
the /var/log/messages file:

Nov 23 22:33:06 hostname ALSA sound/pci/via82xx.c:737: invalid
via82xx_cur_ptr, using last valid pointer
Nov 23 22:33:06 hostname ALSA sound/pci/via82xx.c:737: invalid
via82xx_cur_ptr, using last valid pointer
Nov 23 22:33:06 hostname ALSA sound/pci/via82xx.c:737: invalid
via82xx_cur_ptr, using last valid pointer

These messages appear in the log file once or twice a minute although the
sound only noticable cuts out every few minutes .  Very annoying on an
HTPC.

Oops, I found that I already did apply the change together with another
fix.
So, the fixed version is already in the CVS ;)
