I've got the same issue, with a SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 Dell OEM card. I also get a file handle leak when using the "Analog Surround 5.1 Output" profile - 3 handles leak at a time. When I use the "Analog Surround 4.0 Output" profile, only two handles leak each time. When using the (default) "Analog Stereo Duplex" profile, no file handles leak.

I built pulseaudio and alsa-lib from their respective git HEADs, but the issue (leaking file handles to /dev/snd/timer) remains.

Where might I look next to find the origin of the leaked file handles? I have no experience with sound programming, but I'm willing to try out any suggestions.
