Hi,
I'm getting xruns while trying to do low-latency capture/playback of
audio. After enabling the alsa debug options, I'm seeing errors like
these in my logs:

The only info I could get after searching for a while is that the
"Unexpected hw_pointer value" *could* be related to the audio interrupt
being serviced too late
(http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0407.1/1613.html).
However, I'm running the audio IRQ (IRQ 16) at priority 99 and my app at
98 (I also tried the opposite and get the same result). In this case,
I'm running with two periods of 16 samples each (48 kHz), but I've seen
that error occur with periods up to 64 samples.
Any idea how to fix/further investigate that? My machine is a Dell D600
laptop with a Pentium-M 2.13 GHz, which I'm running at full-speed
(performance governor). Kernel is stock 2.6.16 + rt11 patch. Distro is
Ubuntu 5.10, kernel is not tainted.
Thanks,
Jean-Marc
