Thanks for the heads up.. This is clearly not an issue then..
The other thing I forgot to note was the pci latency settings. On
my system I have been using a script I got from this mailing
list (was it yours Paul?):
#!/bin/sh
case $1 in
start)
# "open up" the PCI bus by allowing fairly long bursts for
all devices, increasing performance
setpci -v -s "*:*.*" latency_timer=b0
# maximise latency for SBLive!, thus allowing
# more data per PCI transfer and minimizing xfuns
setpci -v -s 01:0a.0 latency_timer=ff
esac
exit 0
obviously requiring altering 01:0a.0 to match the results of lspci -v for the
soundcard in your system.
