In my experience, it seems to consistently do that on Dell XPS T
machines (like mine) with ECC memory.  The driver loads without
incident, but the system reboots with a parity error (NMI, I suppose)
as soon as the audio device is opened/written.

The same thing happened when I ran Linux with its respective driver.
