Thanks for the input! On the PC with the Delta66 I discovered that the "Master Clock" option was set to SPDIF. Once I set it to 44100, the usecs-messages stopped coming, and they came back at the same moment that I put it back on SPDIF. There's nothing connected to the SPDIF. Is this a bug or just natural behaviour...? As for the Behringer UCA202 USB cards, I've disabled ACPI on the laptop, and that seems to make a big difference. However, there are still xruns with relatively conservative settings. Are there any further tweaks to be made, or should I just get a non-crap portable soundcard..? As far as I recall it worked better on Ubuntu 7.04, but I didn't really crash-test it there.
