I am running 5.2-RC and before I didn't have that problems. On a
5.1-RELEASE the pcm device was a little bit stuttering on heavy IO
operations but this things are gone away.
I don't have much knowledge on debugging such things but I found that
the sounds lags anytime a program run into 'STATE pcmflu'. I discovered
this only but using 'top' with high priority. Maybe thats useful for
somebody. ;)
best regards,
Gordon
