The symptoms of your problem remind me of what I experienced with full
duplex operation on a SB Live (i.e., recording and playing back at the
same time). Are you using it in full duplex mode? I seem to remember
this having something to do with the record and playback buffers
drifting out of sync. I'm not sure it was ever solved though. It was
quite a while ago when I was playing with this stuff. Cheers.
