I had this problem on my TP 770 a while agoo, and it turned out, that it
has nothing to do with user space aplications, but with some kernel
sound modules conflicting with each other ... right now I use only the
following modules:

cs4232                  2488   0 (autoclean)
ad1848                 15420   0 (autoclean) [cs4232]
uart401                 5856   0 (autoclean) [cs4232]
sound                  55380   0 (autoclean) [cs4232 ad1848 uart401]
soundcore               2448   5 (autoclean) [sound]

and the folowing line in modules.conf

alias char-major-14 cs4232
options cs4232 io=0x530 irq=5 dma=1 dma2=0 

to load them on demand...
