Hi Mark and Roberto!
Sorry for answering twice...
I couldn't find my first answer - the reason was, that I send it
privately only to the two of you... Sorry. I am posting back to the
list as I hope others can make use of your knowledge also!

I use linux since a long time - which doesn't mean that I know about
more than those parts I already had problems with :)
Who knows, maybe the information can be useful for others also? So
maybe a language understandable by people without too much experience
would be helpful?
On my old laptop I used planet CCRMA without any glitches or problems.
Then the network card was not supported anymore by linux and I finally
had to buy a new laptop: an IBM/Lenovo X60s.
On the latter one I never made sound work (without glitches)...
- Planet CCRMA didn't install (at least not when I bought the laptop,
didn't try since...)
- Debian (sid) with and without realtime kernel always has
glitches. I tried to shut down all services running on my
computer (there are lots of them), but it didn't change anything.
Sometimes sound works fine for some minutes, than there are regular
or irregular glitches every some seconds again...
I was never able to trace them down to some driver /
application / ...
- studio64 doesn't work either. The pattern of
glitches is different though :)
Unfortunately I don't have too much time to play around and only try
from time to time. I would like to work more in this field though :)
but unfortunately I have to do too many other things to survive...

Uppsa, that's why I couldn't find my answer ... I posted it to you
privately? Sorry. I repost it to the list as I hope others can profit
also...
