artsd crashes at every noatun start. Alsa-1.0.5 output is used. The soundcard is 

  Bus  0, device  31, function  5:
    Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801DB AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 2).
      IRQ 11.
      I/O at 0xa800 [0xa8ff].
      I/O at 0xa400 [0xa43f].
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xed800000 [0xed8001ff].
      Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xed000000 [0xed0000ff].

snd-intel8x0 kernel module is used. The bug existed also in kde-3.2.x and it seems to appear only on specific computer.
