That would be an underrun. This has nothing to do with the interpretation of snd_pcm_delay's return value; this function just appears in the log because it happend to be the first one that detected this error condition. An underrung cannot be prevented by any change in alsa-lib; xine needs to use a larger buffer, or the scheduling needs to be improved so that some other thread or program doesn't prevent xine from being executed.
