Comment 3 Andrew Morton 2006-04-04 13:18:08 UTC 
This is repeatable, yes?

Could you please check that it happens in a kernel which hasn't
been tainted by the nvidia driver?

Did earlier kernels have this problem? 2.6.16?
Comment 4 Konrad Rzepecki 2006-04-04 16:09:13 UTC 
Yes, it is repeatable.

2.6.16 works OK. Nvidia module absence has no influence to it.

I discovered that filles during crash on this oops returns (translations):
Audio write: Deskryptor pliku w złym stanie (File descriptor in bad shape)
Naruszenie ochrony pamięci (Segmentation fault)

Other oops in snd_pcm_oss

I found out that other oss-using apps also can cause oopses (flash plugin). It
occurs on closing browser using flash plugin to play some sounds or music.

Comment 9 Konrad Rzepecki 2006-04-05 09:35:44 UTC 
It works OK. Both type of OOPS-es didn't occur again. Thanks for the patch.

Comment 13 Konrad Rzepecki 2006-06-27 09:02:55 UTC 
I'm closing this bug, because in 2.6.17 it no longer exists. Patch was applied  
long time ago (AFAIR before 2.6.17-rc2) into mainline.


BTW. What is the bug closing policy? I think, that bug owner should closing it 
(or subsystem mantainer). Submiter not always have enough knowlege about 
problem (this including myself ;-), and shouldn't do it. But also bug cannot 
be "new" forever, especially when it is in fact resolved...
