Give 2.5.x a shot. In some versions there's a buglet, which was hopefully
fixed (I kludged a patch, then the maintainer sent a proper one, and I
haven't had time to try it out).
I saw similar problems under 2.4 (it almost seems like the chipset is
expecting aligned input; lots of errors after closing the device at the
end of a song), but they went away when switching to 2.5.44.
Basically, the OSS driver for this chipset is hopelessly bad (no offense
Jeff!), but ALSA one is pretty well-done and handles the quirks of the
device.
