I'm running a vanilla, fairly new (a month) installation of Unbuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala on a desktop computer. My sound appears to be working fine, I can listen to music as well as flash audio under firefox and chrome. I'm running VMWare Server with a single Windows XP guest. My sound card is onboard the motherboard.
My /var/log/messages however gets filled with messages like the following :

- What's causing these messages?
- What underlying message with content is being suppressed? If I could understand what ratelimit.c is suppressing I might be able to troubleshoot the problem.
I've read through some entries on ubuntuforums.org where people are asking about these messages but with no luck.
