Adjusting pcm buffersize?

[Wade Majors]

Ok, Orion Hodson is a genius. I don't know how he diagnoses this stuff 
so easily.

I have traced the problem to the esound daemon. Taking esd out of the 
loop and using the OSS driver in XMMS works flawlessly under the same 
situations that I was getting the underruns with esd. I switch the 
output to Esound and the problems return.

Huh.

Since it seems not much stuff will work writing directly (or am I 
mistaken?), what are my alternatives here?

Do others seeing this problem have the same results writing directly to 
the device?
