Yes, this is exactly what I am experiencing. At stream start my estimations (based on update_avail) are way off. Afterwards everything is fine. As a dirty workaround to fix this I halve the initial sleep time always so that I can make sure I don't sleep for too long and get an xrun. But that's really ugly, because halving it is just a wild guess and it isn't even necessary on PCI hardware.
