Indeed, that timing is fishy.

I've looked at the alsa-devel thread [1] and your problem description
there.

At OLPC during development we found similar symptoms showing up in
ALSA playback that were contributed to other drivers, but the
underlying causes were in the ALSA driver for our codec chip, and the
other drivers were changing the appearance of the fault only because
of timing changes.

But there's no need to conclude that interrupts were disabled or
delayed.  There can be many other causes.

The timing miscalculation by ALSA might be important.  I can't figure
out how a wireless driver can easily cause that.
