May be this should assign alsa device maintainers, but from my syslog:

Jan  4 17:12:57 valli1 pulseaudio[3715]: alsa-sink.c: Most likely this is a bug in the ALSA driver 'snd_via82xx'. Please report this issue to the ALSA developers.
Jan  4 17:12:57 valli1 pulseaudio[3715]: alsa-sink.c: We were woken up with POLLOUT set -- however a subsequent snd_pcm_avail() returned 0 or another value < min_avail.

reboot fixed this.
