Ok, here is the complete dmesg line...

via_audio: ignoring drain playback error -11
via_audio: ignoring drain playback error -11

When I boot, if I do a dmesg right after I login, this error doesn't (usually) show up right away, but if I wait a few minutes, and then do a dmesg - these things keep showing up...

Playback error DRAIN ? Why is my audio card DRAINING? Where is it draining? Do I have to get a cork? Do I apt-get install STOPPER or something?????

None of this appears to be stopping my audio playing, events, or sound in my games - it just bugs me to see these "errors" showing up, can I get rid of them someway???

Thanks for all, and any, assistance in this matter,
