Affects: desktop-base (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
If I run rhythmbox for a half hour or so listening to music, eventually
the system suddenly freezes.  Keyboard buttons can't mess with the LEDs;
ping doesn't reach the machine; mouse doesn't work; disk activity stops;
and the last frame of audio loops so I hear the same 20-50mS of sound
over and over and over.

I'm on an emu10k1 based SB audigy.

Machine is Socket 754 Athlon 64 Newcastle 2800+, not overclocked.

1024MB of ram.

Running in 32-bit protected mode on the i686 2.6.15-13 kernel.
