It seems that 2.6.12-rc1 introduced an ALSA bug generating an oops for a
null pointer.

This happens on multiple machines, 32b and 64bit. I'll be happy to
provide further information if needed.

This only happens when you mismatch your kernel and alsa-lib versions, e.g.
running alsa-lib-1.0.9-rc2 with alsa-1.0.8 in-kernel drivers, or possibly
vice-versa.

Only the former case (kernel < lib).
It's already fixed in linux-sound bk tree. The relevant patch is
below. The patch was already submitted to stable, too.

Are you saying the userspace interface of the ALSA kernel drivers has
incompatible changes between minor versions of ALSA?
If this is true, that's a serious bug.

Nope, but newer alsa-lib use an ALSA timer API feature which was not well
debugged. This oops should be fixed in 2.6.12-rc2 and older libraries will
work with newer kernels as well.
