[LAU] MIDI Playback freezes

Oh no ... I had this problem a few years ago and thought it'd been
fixed (forever!). But, since "upgrading" to ubuntu 9.10 I've had a few
freezes again.

I've got a 24/96 audiophile card which is sending the midi to an external synth.

No Jackd, but pulseaudio is running. Stock kernel 2.6.31-14-generic.

Now, when I had the problem before I solved it by NOT running the RT
to multi-media kernel. This this that isn't the problem....

When the freeze happens it kills the computer completely. I could
probably log in via a terminal or network, but haven't tried that. The
video does display, but the keyboard/mouse is gone. The only way out
is to hit RESET.

Ideas???? Big problem is that it happens very occasionally. Last time
was several weeks ago. Hopefully, the next time will be a long time in
the future!
