Raymond, The committer, Takashi Iwai, decided to help us. Can you use this patch (and help me test it) :-)
Nio ----- OK, I see why this bogus report reappears again. The message tag was reverted back after some commit for correctness. Now I rephrased the text again so that it won't hit some stupid daemon any longer. It'll be included in 4.6 kernel, and then backported to stable kernels later. But, note that this doesn't fix the issue. For a proper fix, a patch like below would be needed. Let me know if this works for you. (But I have no idea about Ubuntu, so I cannot tell you how to apply the patch, ask other Ubuntu people about it Takashi -- 8< -- From: Takashi Iwai at SUSE Subject: [PATCH] ALSA: au88x0: Fix overlapped PCM pointer au88x0 hardware seems returning the current pointer at the buffer boundary instead of going back to zero. This results in spewing warnings from PCM core. This patch corrects the return value from the pointer callback within the proper value range, just returning zero if the position is equal or above the buffer size.
