I've got maybe 10 seconds of sound, then silence and these messages:

[audio.c:596] error: Error in writing audio (Invalid argument?)!
[mpg123.c:577] error: Deep trouble! Cannot flush to my output anymore!

There was the "usual" message:
pcm0:virtual:dsp0.vp0: play interrupt timeout, channel dead

Also, I have the impressions that the rare events where I get some
seconds of sound only occur when the box was powered down for some time
before, subsequent attempts (also after reboot without power cycle)
never seem to produce sound.

I tried xmms with similar results: one short burst of noise/static, then
silence. Plus some complaining about ioctls:

** WARNING **: SNDCTL_DSP_SETFMT ioctl failed: Invalid argument
** WARNING **: SNDCTL_DSP_SPEED ioctl failed: Invalid argument
