The messages continue until the sound finishes playing. The sound plays correctly. CD Audio works properly. Quake3 causes system to hard lock. Causes corruption in /var/log/messages .

The errors are also happening on the Dell Precision Workstation 220 w/ integrated audio (i810).
Of additional note, the system is not actually halting on the PWS220 when playing Q3A. It just gets no audio. So it would seem the Optiplex GX110 is a failure of the audio & the video, while on the 220, it is just an audio problem.
i810 audio works properly now (most of it) on ws220, & optiplex gx110. Quake3 still exits with a sig 11, but no longer hard locks. This was expected. i810 Video still has problems with X :1 as expected.
note, this started working with 2.2.17-8
