Sorry Jörg, I'm going to tell you to update :) Your alsa-plugins is too old. We
require the handle_underrun setting to be supported to work around a PulseAudio
bug[1]. Without the handle_underrun setting, your audio will drop out within
about 15 minutes of playback. So your choices are:

1) Don't upgrade, remove the handle_underrun hack, and live with your audio
dropping out after a few minutes;
2) Don't upgrade, leave the handle_underrun hack, and have no audio; or
3) Upgrade

I suppose there is a fourth option, which is to fiddle with the ALSA driver
until the original drop-out bug stops happening. But I have spent weeks trying
to make that work, and this was finally my best solution.
