This is an issue in alsalib, we'll have to work around it. It'll take me a while to get that correct.
What errors do you get Christian? I'd like to dup this to the correct metabug here.
The sound works for me now, so I guess Owen fixed some caps issues in mmswfdec or similar. I basically filed this bug since you said you knew of the alsa underun issues already, to be able to document it getting fixed. I guess we can just close it if you have the underrunns somewhere else more reproduceable.
