I've had the same problem for a while now. Both the rvplayer and the
esound daemon lock things up hard. I haven't tried to isolate the
problem (it isn't easy when the machine just freezes) but I will if
this is a mystery (not just something I have configured incorrectly).

I've got a SoundBlaster 16 and the driver is built as a module.

(I think, but am not sure, that it also happens in the latest
2.0 kernels. I'll probably test this tomorrow)
