[Jean-Michel Vourgère]

Subject: alsa-utils: underrun!!! (at least 881183351.502 ms long)
Package: alsa-utils
Version: 1.0.23-3
Severity: minor

I'm using arecord|aplay to play audio from an usb device with that command:
arecord --buffer-size=256 -r 44000 -D iec958:CARD=default,DEV=0 -f S16_LE |
aplay --buffer-size=256 -D default:CARD=Intel

I'm occasionnaly get errors like these:
overrun!!! (at least 0.164 ms long)
overrun!!! (at least 0.028 ms long)
overrun!!! (at least 0.396 ms long)
underrun!!! (at least 881192365.673 ms long)
overrun!!! (at least 0.147 ms long)
overrun!!! (at least 0.049 ms long)
overrun!!! (at least 0.150 ms long)
overrun!!! (at least 0.149 ms long)
underrun!!! (at least 881195367.756 ms long)
...

I'm filling this bug only about the underrun error message:
I don't think I have a 24 hours buffer with just 256 bytes.
There probably is an unsigned/signed error somewhere...
