Subject: pcm device locks on some errors

I have noticed that if I have problems with the pcm device (like a
very busy CPU that can't keep it fed), the pcm device fails and I
can't use it again without a reboot. Is this a known problem? Is there
a workaround that can clear it?

ThinkPad 600E running 4.1-Stable from August 18 using the integral
Crystal Semiconductor audio and the pcm device.

Thanks,
