Description of problem: 
Sorry, this is probably going to be a useless bug report, but just in 
case... 
 
I was watching a video in mplayer (dev-CVS-040924-20:39-3.4.2, 
compiled myself; have had no prior problems with it).  Paused 
playback, which gave an error message, but it paused.  Resumed 
playback, got another error message, but the playback resumed 
properly including sound.  So this isn't even a good *bug*.  (Or else 
the mplayer devs program very defensively.) 
 
The error messages as they came out: 
ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:590:(snd_pcm_hw_pause) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_PAUSE 
failed: File descriptor in bad state 
alsa-pause: pcm pause error: File descriptor in bad state 
ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:590:(snd_pcm_hw_pause) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_PAUSE 
failed: File descriptor in bad state 
alsa-resume: pcm resume error: File descriptor in bad state 
 
The lines that start with "ALSA lib" I'm guessing are output by 
alsa-lib (there's no pcm_hw.c in mplayer); the alsa-pause: and 
alsa-resume: lines came from mplayer. 
 
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 
rawhide current as of 20041010, including 
alsa-lib-1.0.6-1 
kernel-2.6.8-1.603(.i686) 
 
How reproducible: 
This is the first and only time I've seen it; can't reproduce it.  I 
was burning and then verifying a disc at the time it occurred, so 
maybe it's something weird in the kernel between other drivers and 
ALSA?  Wouldn't be the first time I've seen burning cause other 
problems (see bug #132352 for an example) 
 
Steps to Reproduce: 
No idea.  I'll bust out some -RW discs when I get a chance and see if 
it is indeed burning-related.
