But how do you know you are not losing any data? I mean...

... there seems to be no xrun detection enabled. At least pd-0.36 seems to
set "snd_pcm_sw_params_set_xrun_mode(alsa_device.inhandle, sw_params,
SND_PCM_XRUN_NONE);".

This means that you could be having small xruns all the time! Of course,
really long breaks are always audible, but shorter ones are sometimes
quite subtle. Still, you are losing audio data.
